This message does not apply to hard liquors.
I’m very curious as to why, but I won’t argue.
This place is a prison

They have a resealable top. The library is most likely concerned about spills. Most of them have a no cans policy.

Beer dries sticky, does hard liquor dry out clean? It’s mostly water and alcohol so it might be better
krashmo@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
There’s other good speculation on the reasoning but I wonder if it’s due to the younger staff put in charge of posting this notice. Maybe they pestered management about the specific reasoning until they determined that hard liquor did not meet the provided definition of restricted items, then added the last sentence as a form of protest.

Duh, obviously you need hard liquor for hard study. It’s pretty hard.
nickiwest@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I assumed it’s because the tenured faculty come in to do their research with a pocket flask.

Don’t mess with the hard liquor lobby. If you know, you know

In my experience the library is often visited by homeless people because it’s free entertainment. A lot of the homeless people around my area are also alcoholics and have you ever tried to take alcohol away from an alcoholic. It’s not easy.

So you can’t crack a cold one to relax but getting shitfaced is absolutely fine?
Where do I sign up?

The cracking bit is the issue, they don’t want a beer volcano. Vodka isn’t carbonated.

Vodka isn’t carbonated.
Usually at least. Big Clive did put some in the sodastream youtube.com/watch?v=8kK-QUjOl0Q

It’s not the booze that’s banned it’s the can
nycki@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
if that were the case they could just write “no canned beverages” or “no drinks without resealable lids” etc. there’s no reason to bring booze into it at all. so if that was their intent then this is really poor communication.

I assume VT is like what I’ve read about the USA where people can’t walk around outside with open alcohol.
Other canned drinks can just be brought out when you’re leaving, but you need to try to conceal beer. That’d lead to unnecessary spills.
Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
So, they just don’t want drinks that make noise when you open them?

Fizzy drinks in cans can erupt like a volcano too

I had a 6 AM start microbiology lab. In order to get myself going, I brought a bottle of wine carefully poured into a bottle of Gatorade.
I fucking loved that class.
Also our TA was a smoke show.

this seems more about protecting the books from the way people crack their drinks open.

Soak a dictionary in bud light the night before, then you just rip out a handful of pages at a time, boom. Now who is a degenerate failure and a worthless blemish on decent society, Grandma?

Study wine it is
Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Okay but drink it from the bottle. No spills!
Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
So the library leadership cut an exception for themselves, probably.
QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Why doesn’t this ban apply to hard liqours? Why am I allowed to trip vodka in the library?
postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Im guessing literature professors.

I misread this and immediately thought, “I wouldn’t go to the library without my study bear.
