It's a creative survey that lists the most popular times during the academic calendar that social drinking occurs. It breaks down to a specific number of times per year that the student-athlete devotes to drinking. An example, if an athlete drank every Thursday night for a full year, it would be 52 times per year he went drinking. The assessment adds in all the popular holidays and events: St. Patrick's Day, New Year's Eve, 4th of July, Cinco de Mayo, Monday Night Football, March Madness, etc. The survey is intended to create the awareness of not taking drinking for granted.
