Not that we here at Slashfood would condone drinking, especially when you have a lot of homework to do. But the truth is college students drink, and Boston has a lot of bars and a lot of colleges. Ergo, a lot of college students are going to drink in Boston. Here's a quick guide, with the bars around each college highlighted.

I can vouch for some of these places. I've been to the Sunset Grill & Tap several times, and not only do they have over 100 beers on tap, but they also have close to 400 in bottles. They should have added Bukowski's Tavern though. It has two locations (on in the Back Bay, one in Cambridge), the drinks are fairly cheap, and it's an interesting place (named after writer Charles Bukowski) even beyond that.

Come on current and ex-Boston area college students, add on to this list. It just doesn't seem complete.

I love articles that list the best restaurants, the worst restaurants, the best bars, and similar lists for a particular city. I don't always agree, but more often than not they get me to look at a place again or make me want to try out a place I've never been to.

The Boston Phoenix picks the 50 best meals in the city that you can get for under $10. The choices range from the Tasca Lunch Salad at Pastis for $8.95 to the Cubano Sandwich at the Miami Cafe for $5.50. The all you can eat Taco Lunch Box at the Sunset Grill and Tap is only $6.99 (they also have 112 beers on tap and another 400 in bottle!), and the Chicken Sub at Il Panino Express sounds good at only $5.95 . I also have to try out the famous Mac & Cheese at the Bukowski Tavern (named after the writer). Comes with a choice of sausage or broccoli, but you can get it with bacon too. It's $9.00 and you can get it at 1:30 in the morning on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. As for their #1 choice, I can personally vouch for that. It's excellent.

I would add the burritos at Boca Grande (a couple of locations, one in Coolidge Corner). When I was tight on funds their giant "burritos grande" for $4.25 really helped me out.
