Petition · past parliament

Allow the consumption of alcohol in student colleges.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

We would ask the government to allow students and teachers to consume alcohol on college premises.
Drinking has been proven to improve work rate, when in small amounts. As the majority of the country is in tier 3 lockdown, we feel as if it would be enticing for young students (of age) to consume limited amounts of their favorite alcohol in class.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The consumption of alcohol on college premises is a decision for individual colleges, not the UK Government or Parliament.
