University proves to be intoxicating to students

GUIYANG - Getting drunk has long been a rite of passage for students around the world - and for scholars at one new university it is likely to be easier than ever. A month after this year's college entrance exams, Luo Sha, 19, applied to the recently founded Moutai University in her hometown.

Luo, from Renhuai, the city where Moutai Group is located, said she chose the university because she was "nurtured" by Moutai's liquor culture from childhood.

Kweichow Moutai, a distilled Chinese liquor produced in southwestern Guizhou province, is considered the country's national liquor and is often served on official occasions such as State banquets, not to mention on many family dinner tables throughout the nation.
