Alcohol policy per 1 January 2023

News - 01 January 2023 - Communication


From 1 January 2023, an alcohol and substances policy will apply at TU Delft, this also applies for X.
What does this mean in concrete terms?

  • On weekdays, no alcohol will be served and consumed before 17:00. This applies to the entire accommodation, so in Cafe X and Freetown, but also during get-togethers, activities and events.
  • On weekends, no alcohol will be served and consumed before 13:00.
  • If alcoholic drinks are served, a maximum alcohol content of 15 per cent applies. Spirits above 15% alcohol are therefore not allowed.

Why this policy?
Alcohol and substance use has negative effects on the health and well-being of students and staff. Dutch universities, including TU Delft, therefore have the ambition to help limit problematic alcohol use within the university community. To this end, TU Delft cooperates with student associations, the alcohol clinic of Reinier de Graaf, the Red Cross and the Municipality of Delft, among others. At TU Delft, this has led, among other things, to the adoption of this policy.
