WATERVILLE -- On some Friday nights, students at Colby College can sit down to dinner and savor two beverages found in few college dining halls: beer and wine. The program began last fall and was initiated by the Student Government Association. It's intended to teach students to drink in moderation while showing an alternative to the binge drinking common on college campuses. Not surprisingly, the program was popular with students -- at least those of drinking age. But the program was also popular with college administrators, who have decided to expand it to most Friday nights during the spring semester. 'The purpose is education,' said Varun Avashthi, the colleges director of dining services. 'The whole point is that the students recognize that you don't have to binge drink or abstain. There is middle ground.'
