about us

We’ve all heard of them. . . .we’ve all wondered about them. . . but do we all know what’s fact and what’s fiction when it comes to urban legends at Mizzou?

Welcome to MU Mythbusters. . . your one-stop-shop for accurate and reliable information regarding alcohol, tobacco, and wellness topics. We will be fighting fiction with fact to prove that Mizzou myths are neither reliable nor supported by research and expert opinion. What you are about to read may shock and surprise you, but above all else, it will educate you to make healthier, smarter decisions when it comes to alcohol, tobacco, and wellness responsibility.

MU Mythbusters is hot on the track of some of Mizzou’s biggest campus rumors.

Upcoming myths that we’ll put to the test include:

  • Under the new MIP-C law, it is makes more since to drive home so a police officer doesn’t stop someone who is walking home drunk.
  • It’s ok not to blow when asked to perform a breathalyzer sobriety test.
  • If someone stops drinking two hours before driving home, they are ok to drive and do not risk getting a DWI.
  • Misconceptions about hangovers including moderating drinking the night before will result in less of a hangover.
  • MU has been nationally recognized as being one of the biggest party schools.
