Well, I guess Gordon Brown got himself a new job already as Dean of UC Berkeley. What's next, surveillance cameras all around the campus?

It's to help the students know if they are lactose intolerant and/or subject to alcohol addiction.

You need to be checked for that when you go into college. That is the most stupid thing I ever heard of.
Hey, student you are lactose intorerant----really, I knew that since I was 2 years old.
Hey student, you might become a lush, you need to check in every Sat night.

It's optional for the students.
What, you've not had a complete DNA review?
Still living in the 12th Century or do you have something to hide?

It's not covered by insurance
Gotta wait for obamacare to kick in for a subsidy.
I've never had a DNA review..don't even know what that is.
Most I've had is blood work.

I figured I would die soon from something wearing out so I have avoided such foolishness.

I'm afraid that after drinking all that milk and having a drink once or twice a year that I am lactose intolerant or worse...a stumbling drunk and did not even know it.
