The first part of the implementation of the new law was a success because most students were aware of the restrictions for 18 year olds drinking alcohol, according to Lorenzetti. Students sponsoring a party must make sure that guests under 19 years of age do not bring alcohol to the party, or receive any, Associate Director of University Housing Garry Soehner said.
