Others might find themselves spending the night in the hospital, getting treated for acute alcohol intoxication, alcohol poisoning or severe injuries. Some may die. Most alcohol-related cases have to do with acute intoxication, in which the students are allowed to spend the night in the emergency room and are then sent home in the morning without being admitted. If they're over 21, they can have alcohol and drink it in their rooms. Nobody can drink in the lounges or quads, or any other public spaces in and around the residence halls.
Nobody can have open containers in public spaces.
No beer kegs allowed anywhere on campus. Nobody is allowed to show up obviously intoxicated on University property, even if the drinking was done legally off-campus. Alcohol-related incidents often result in fights, traffic accidents, ambulance calls and critical emergency room cases. But many such incidents go unreported. A student reported a noisy party in Building 42, Nittany Apartments.
