Identifier: FA 1 Item 3177

Scope and Contents note

Describes the "drinking culture" at Brigham Young University, which includes consumption of IBC Root Beer and Apple Beer. Discusses how window decorations in some dormitories at Brigham Young University reflect the drinking culture of most colleges and universities throughout the nation. Explains that BYU drinking culture involves drinking 1) beverages such as IBC Root Beer that are sold in bottles that look like alcoholic beverage containers, and 2) highly caffeinated beverages like Mountain Dew, which can be considered taboo in Latter-day Saint culture. Describes window displays of empty cans and bottles as folk art that symbolizes rebellion. Created by Cari Bell while she was enrolled in Jill Terry Rudy's English 391 class during Winter Semester 2003.
