I can't be bothered looking for the links, but last week there was a study that found that young people who go out to the pub often tend to have more sexual partners than people who don't. Astonishing result.

"Sometimes you just have to marvel at the culture of academia, that allows people who need three years to find that out to call themselves "experts"."

And three years at a UNIVERSITY at that. Most normal people get this stuff sorted by the end of Freshers' week...

I love the way they put "drinking stories" in quotes. The whole thing reads like they've just discovered a strange new previously undiscovered tribe whose impenetrable ceremonies are only now coming to be understood by science.

They used the scientific method: drink to extreme inebriation; record results then repeat until satisfied. Which in their case was three years later.

They must have got their degrees at a correspondence university.
