- Ultimately, freshmen in US college are more similar to a grade 10 here in terms of alcohol awareness and history of use. Often this leads to a higher frequency of violence, crime, and alcohol poisoning than in Canada.
This is all on Gavin being an idiot, but I bet this could derail NCAA efforts to attract draft eligible canadian players.

Points 1,2 & 4 are bang on…
I had a young guy working for me who was drunk and stupid at a campus bar. While he was getting turfed, the bouncers kicked the crap out of him, but he was similarly charged.
Fortunately, his family had the wherewithal to buy his way out of it, as is the way in the US.
Stories like this make me happy my large, muscular meathead 19 year old son does not drink.
