Every year the same debate ad nauseam

There is no “debate”, we need to raise awareness of the extreme dangers of alcohol, especially before Purim. Do you know how many calls Hatzoloh runs to for drunk bochurim on purim? Pass by Maimonides Hospital Emergency room on purim and you will see.

It is obvious that his is not what Purim is about.
Be Safe.

kinda but nothing like new years. The biggest concern each year is teenagers drinking and/or driving,
Where r the cops March 9, 2011 6:31 pm At 6:31 pm

I wonder if the cops are going to ignore the public drinking again. Last year there were 10 year olds walking on 14th st drinking from bottles of Jack Daniels. This is illegal and dangerous.

Hey #11 did you call the cops they are not mind readers. I do not think the cops would ignore children being trashed the kids could die if they drink to much.
