It even gives quantity recommendations.
“The Oregon Liquor Control Commission has stated that a fifth of alcohol, like Hennessy Cognac, is sufficient supply for at least 8 adults. One can assume that for 17 to 18 year old individuals, one fifth can probably be spread out to 4 students. Considering our reputation (Drinkin’ Lincoln), in some cases one fifth is only enough for a single person.”
The letter urges parents to adopt a “realistic approach” to drug and alcohol abuse as well as sexual activity.
Two condoms were included with the letters, which appeared to have been printed on school letterhead.
