Students learned facts regarding alcohol while playing games such as “Know Your Solo,” said Andrew Poole, Social Norms’ creative consultant.

The activity is designed to teach students how much they’re actually drinking, Poole said.

“I’ve never seen that event before,” said Amber Hauck, an anthropology senior. “So it was interesting to see that when we’re pouring drinks into a cup, we’re actually pouring, like, three drinks.”

Other activities included learning how to apply a condom and learning about drug use through a duck-themed game.

“Our overall mission with the MSU Social Norms program is to have students understand … their habits and how they spend their time,” Poole said. “We want to give them this accurate information … (and) a clear idea based on the data.”

According to MSU Social Norms, the data presented on a particular Duck Days poster came from a web-based survey of 1,113 MSU undergraduate students. Because it is a stratified random sample, it accurately represents the MSU undergraduate population across grade level, race and gender, according to Social Norms.

According to a Duck Days poster, 91 percent of students who choose to drink on Halloween eat before or while drinking to limit the negative effects of alcohol.

Communication sophomore Olivia Hagerman, a member of the “Quack Pack,” or the group who organizes Duck Days events, said it’s important MSU students are educated about alcohol consumption because the university is “known for partying.” She said she always is pleased with the large turnout at Duck Days events.

“It’s a lot of fun,” she said. “Today, you can even win extra fun things, like little Halloween ducks.”
