To the editorial board:
 
I came across your site in a search for information about the history of alcohol and law school. As husband begins his first year of law school, we've been surprised by both the number of school sponsored events centered around or at least involving drinking as well as the number of students who drink heavily (I'm defining that as five or more alcoholic beverages in one night). I am interested in learning more about the history of drinking and law schools. Has the trend of lawyers drinking heavily always been present? When was it first noted? How did the association begin--coming up with new classes of students or down from older lawyers?
 
If you have any related articles, please advise me as to where I can locate those. If such a topic has not previously been addressed, perhaps I will submit one for future review should my research prove fruitful.
 
Thanks for your help and time.
