Alcohol and Drugs
It is important to keep the following in mind so that you do not find yourself in a situation that could lead to violation of the Rhodes Code of Conduct:
- Avoid consuming large quantities of alcohol in public, particularly with people you do not know well, in cafes, bars, or parties. Be careful and constantly aware in public places where alcohol might be consumed, and remember you are in another country with different social customs. Until you are familiar with these customs, you should err on the cautious side.
- If you consume alcohol, please remember that your ability to make sound judgments is impaired, and therefore you may be putting yourself in danger.
- Many drugs are available in other countries over-the-counter that would not normally be available in the U.S. Be certain when purchasing medication that you know the ingredients and understand their effects, especially if you are taking other medications.
- Do not consume alcohol while taking any medication.
