Un-ban the Strawpedo

The Issue

EUSA have decided to ban the strawpedo. Anyone caught drinking a VK like that at Big Cheese will be removed from the building. 

EUSA have said this is part of their 'duty' to prevent irresponsible drinking. 

Here's the thing: it doesn't stop irresponsible drinking. Irresponsible drinking is drinking too much for you to handle. EUSA aren't stopping students from drinking, but they are controlling how students drink.

Which quite frankly, should be none of their business. 

So EUSA want to control how fast people drink. Assuming this is the start, it won't be long before downing pints is banned. 

What's next, sipping shots?

Strawpedoing a VK just allows you to drink it quicker, nothing more. Taking a shot probably lets you drink more, in less time too. 

EUSA, revelling in their role as heartless killjoys, are banning strawpedos because they have nothing better to do. 

EUSA, please do something useful.
