Why I Drink

A look at drink­ing respon­si­bly for pleasure

Why do I drink? To answer hon­estly, I drink because I enjoy it. I don’t do it to escape some hor­ri­ble real­ity of life and I don’t do it to show off, I do it because it is enjoy­able and can enhance sit­u­a­tions if used properly.

The Ferris State hockey team upset nation­ally No. 1 ranked Miami (Ohio) with a pair of road shootout vic­to­ries over the weekend.

Ferris improved to 7−3−2 over­all this sea­son and 2−2−2−2 in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) after earn­ing four points in the con­fer­ence stand­ings. Head coach Bob Daniels believes the team is improved, but must con­tinue to work on a few areas.

“After this week­end, I think we have a chance to be a very good team,” said Daniels. “But we have to con­tinue to work hard if we’re going to get there.” Continue Reading…
