College students like iPods more than beer

BeerYup, it's true, according to this survey from Student Monitor.

Now, my first reaction was to say "oh, please, come on!" But the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. We can have stories about drinking a lot in college and partying and all that, but I think what this survey is saying is that students value "music" more than "drinking beer." We also have to realize that iPods got a 73% vote as being "in" compared to the 71% that iPods got, so it's not like they're choosing one completely over the other and the other isn't even on their radar. The surprising thing is the lame quote in the article from the guy at Student Monitor.

Now, I wonder if they included sex in the survey? Let's see where that shows up with college students.

Well maybe if you wait a while, the antisocial behavior of listening to music by yourself and talking to people on a computer we'll eventually see people prefering these things over sex, well sex and other activities that require you to engage in some sort of conversation.
