Solution
Let S be the set of all students.
$ |S| = 100 $
Let C be the event that someone drinks cider
$ |C| = 25 $
Let B be the event that someone drinks beer
$ |B| = 50 $
Let $ \overline{C} \cap \overline{B} $ be the event that someone does not drink cider and does not drink beer
$ | \overline{C} \cap \overline{B} | = 33 $
