It’s the Thinking, Not the Drinking
Learn More
Did you know UNM students, on average, drink less than two drinks of alcohol a week? And 37% of UNM students don’t drink at all.
Get ready for some mind-blowing myth-busting about alcohol. For example, 90% of all the good effects attributed to drinking are actually mental placebo effects. They’re not caused by alcohol, you create them using your mind!
Join your fellow Lobos who’ve learned that if you choose to drink, you can enjoy all the positive, social effects of alcohol without suffering from hangovers or the academic and safety problems caused by heavy drinking that’s glorified on social media and movies.
