There was once a Columbia event called “40s on 40,” a chance for seniors who were forty days away from graduation to drink large quantities of malt liquor in the Quad (and possibly pour one out for Lil’ Saint). Last year the event became “40 Days Until Graduation,” a student council sanctioned event, complete with a crowded pen in which students who wanted to drink were corralled.
This year’s “40 Days” is starting now (and going ’till 4) in Low Plaza. There are free t-shirts for the first few hundred attendees, and free food and drink, including up to four beers. No outside backpacks or containers allowed.
Bwog certainly isn’t looking a gift horse in the mouth, but, like Lerner Pub, the best of course of action here will probably be to show up early, imbibe quickly, and withdraw hastily.

@umm areyougeorgekrebs?
@LE:MON Party will bring back 40s on 40, with or without the administration.
Myohnine.com for details.
@alexw I’m gonna go pour out a 40 in remembrance of 40s on 40.
@cc08 I’m going because booze is booze, but I’m going to feel dirty. Still, it’s rare that you can drink outside on Columbia’s dollar.
@CC 07 It almost hurts to remember how much fun this event was in 2005 and 2006, and how much it sucked last year. One of the only Columbia traditions people give a shit about. BAH.
@alexw I ain’t going to this shit. Drinking in their pen is like protesting in a free speech zone.
@DHI Just shoot yourself full of that hair-on and go sit on the steps drinking a two-liter soda(diet pepsi for you, Sonny) in a paper bag.
@CC'09 I will vote for whichever candidate promises to bring back the old 40 on 40.
@That would be Experience Columbia; they’re the only ones that mentioned fighting the war on fun. Fucking administration.
@shut up the only thing experience columbia will do is getting impeached if they get elected.
