Beer Bike safety depends on efficiency

It is said that Beer Bike security is the most "sucky" on-campus volunteering experience that one could possibly find. Yet for people who are "forced" to do security, knowing how to outwit all the rules and regulations is of vital importance. After all, you don't want to miss out on this annual festival consisting of weeklong water balloon filling, campus-wide underage drinking, sporadic cheer battles and, unofficially, the largest water balloon fight in the world.Rule No. 1: The Beer Bike coordinators will tell you that you should never show up drunk. Well, the truth is that you just can't show up obviously drunk. And the best way to avoid that is to start drinking as early as possible, so that you can avoid any hangovers or puking during security hours. Early bird catches the worm.
