Events with Alcohol


CADE

All scheduled events with alcohol must be approved and processed through the Center for Alcohol and other Drug Education (CADE). In addition, at each event with alcohol at least 1 person has to be trained in Responsible Alcohol Management (RAM) per every 20 attendees (1:20 ratio); according to CADE policy.

The University allows for responsible consumption of alcoholic beverages through compliance with the ABCD Policy (Alcoholic Beverage Consumption and Distribution Policy).

All members of The George Washington University community are expected to be familiar with, and are held accountable for, all policies of the University. Please take the time to review the ABCD Policy prior to planning an event where alcoholic beverages will be served. The ABCD Policy is available on line, at the Office of Scheduling and Events (Marvin Center, Suite 204),the Student Association Office (Marvin Center, Room 424), and the Center for Alcohol and other Drug Education (Thurston Hall, Suite 114).
