[Histonet] 200 proof alcohol?

[Merced Leiker]

At our university in Buffalo, NY, we have to sign out the alcohol we 
purchase from the university (we could buy it from Sigma or other places, I 
suppose, but generally want to avoid the SH fee). I was told the State of 
NY required the signature...why? So if we're caught driving drunk they can 
link it to the alcohol we purchased through the university and diluted to 
have a party?? And the university would be held liable??  ;-)
