Why aren there more free beer/cheap beer events at Sidney-Pacific?
As you may or may not know, MIT has a very strict policy about alcohol. They do not allow university funds to be used to buy alcohol without permission from a Dean and procuring a temporary alcohol license from Cambridge. As this is a somewhat complicated process, most events at Sidney-Pacific will not include alcohol. However for any large party we would expect to bring in the Thirsty Ear to serve beverages at their normal inexpensive prices.
