Trouble with a student

A bunch of students got quite drunk last night. There is supposed to be an absolute zero tolerance policy here, but that's not how it actually works. Every year students are sent home if they're caught blatantly drinking or drunk, wasting their parents' $10,000+ program money and the college credit they would have earned. We've known that some students have been drinking, but they kept it pretty contained and behaved themselves decently and safely, so we let it go.

Last night we went to a club and there was an incident with one of the students who was a bit more out of line than the rest. The girl had to hold herself up while talking to me, and unfortunately for her, she admitted to me in front of other students that she was drunk. The rest of the details are filed away in an incident report somewhere, but basically it was a really difficult situation for the student and for me. Definitely not the highlight of this trip.
