BBC Asian Network - BBC Asian Network's Big Debate, University students & alcohol

Can you have a good time at university if you don't drink alcohol?

Can you have a good time at University if you don't drink alcohol? Qasa is asking this as new university students participate in fresher’s week, where there is a lot of pressure to go out, meet new people and have a drink or two to socialise. Also new guidance has been published by the Universities UK Project about the dangers of drinking too much alcohol after a student called Ed Farmer died in December 2016 from alcohol poisoning following an initiation event.
Then we’ll be joined by this week’s guru – Jacquetta Brown who works for the HMRC. The tax expert is live in the studio to answer your questions. Plus, Qasa wants to know, Is British TV better than American TV? Last night there were lots of Brits winning at the Emmy Awards, which recognise the best TV shows from the past year.
