Events and Alcohol Policy

Adelaide University Dental Student Society (AUDSS)

Alcohol and Antisocial behaviour Standard.

Purpose: To minimise risk and enhance safety and enjoyment for all AUDSS members, dental and oral health students and others attending AUDSS functions.

Antisocial behaviour (i.e. verbal abuse, physical abuse, damage to goods or property) will not be tolerated at AUDSS events.
In the event of antisocial behaviour the AUDSS Core Executives (President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer) and Event Executive Officers have the discretion to decide whether or not it is appropriate for the offending individual/s to remain at or to leave the AUDSS event.
Individuals may not be permitted entry at all AUDSS-related events, and written notice of this action will be given to the offending party and the School of Dentistry Dean.
Grievances may be raised to the AUDSS President, School of Dentistry or to the University of Adelaide Education and Welfare Officers. AUDSS will run a variety of events throughout the calendar year. At events where alcohol will be served:
Alcohol will be served either by qualified employees of the venues attended by the AUDSS, or by AUDSS Committee Members who have completed Responsible Service of Alcohol training (RSA). -‐ Water (available free) and non-alcoholic drinks will be readily available.
-‐ Alcohol will not be served to minors (below 18 years of age). -‐
Alcohol will not be served to individuals who are behaving in an antisocial manner (as above), appear to be intoxicated (their speech, balance, coordination or behaviour is noticeably impaired and it is reasonable to believe the impairment is the result of the consumption of liquor), or if it is believed that the individual is planning to drive a motor vehicle and may be over the legal alcohol limit.
It is not the responsibility of the AUDSS or its Committee to regulate an individual’s alcohol consumption. Recognising, however, that young adults 18 – 25 years and under 18s are at greater risk from drinking alcohol AUDSS strongly recommends the “Australian guidelines to reduce health risks from drinking alcohol”(1) be followed • For healthy men and women, drinking no more than two standard drinks on any day reduces the lifetime risk of harm from alcohol-related disease or injury. • For healthy men and women, drinking no more than four standard drinks on a single occasion reduces the risk of alcohol-related injury arising from that occasion. • Young people (up to 18 years of age) are advised not to drink alcohol at all.
