I generally did it as a community bonding effort in an attempt to have casual sex with a female, but that’s just me.

If you had to listen to droning marxists all day, I’d...oh never mind.

Because college students have to do something with all of the bongs they make from scratch in their dorm rooms.
Not that I have experience with any of this.

Has there ever been a recorded time in history when college kids did NOT enjoy getting wasted?
Somehow I doubt it.

Because they are children in adult bodies. Most of them have been coddled by parents who fix all their mistakes and never consider asking them to work or be responsible.
College itself is ridiculous. The first 2 years at least are useless repeats of high school material. Until we get government out of education and stop doing things the way they have been done for 100 years, this nonsense will continue. It is time that parents look around for better options for their children than the grind of traditional schooling.

Why do college kids drink?
Because it feels good, which explains a lot of other stuff they do, too. Was this article paid for by a stimulus grant? Is there going to be a study?

“...through siblings and parents, and people who go to college have a ton of stories about drinking.”
Too bad my sister is already dead from her alcholism that took root in college. Although she still serves the purpose as a warning to my kids. That said, I’m glad I survived my college years (and beyond) with no DUI’s and no huge misshaps. Although a buddy of mine did break his neck in a college drunk-driving accident. Survived luckily.
Okay - sorry. PARTY ON!!

I went to college in the 70's, in a place where we received over 150 inches of frozen precipitation each year. We learned to make bongs out of snow, and how to make mash heaters and evaporators function in sub-zero weather. I would not advise this, but it did help us deal with our idiot Marxist professors, in part by learning a few valuable trade skills.

Because most kids can’t party like that in high school which I did and was pretty well burned out to it by 20.

"My advice to you, is to start drinking heavily." Ever read the story upon which Animal House was based?
Fits pretty well in this thread, IMO.

“sister is already dead from her alcholism that took root in college”
Condolences. For me, it’s my youngest aunt, and her using/abusing/dependence began earlier; she didn’t spend all that much time in college.
