Booze and Culture in the news!

When was beer invented? Humans discovered fermentation thousands of years ago, but ancient brews would have tasted much differently from the beers of today.

Today, we watched a powerful video with Jim and Evelyn Piazza, the parents of Timothy Piazza, the 19-year-old Penn State sophomore who tragically died in 2017 after being hazed during a fraternity pledging event.
In the video, The Piazzas recounted the heartbreak of losing their vibrant, kind son and urged students to take a stand against hazing.
Though they couldn’t join us in person this year due to the weather, their message remains clear: Speak up. Challenge harmful traditions. Save lives.
Let’s honor Timothy’s legacy by creating a culture of accountability and compassion.
