This study ranks right up there with "Sky Blue: Film at 11." I remember Ann Landers talking about this in her column 10 years ago and college grads basically saying the same things this study says. I was also like you twinstars - my social life at home on break was nil and I went without drinking for months. I also didn't have study/friends/guy pressure while I was home. And as Mikki said, it has to do with getting that craziness out of your system. Sure some people do end up having alcohol problems, but I think those people would have had them no matter what - alcoholism is a disease that you never know you have till you try, whether you're 18 or 58.
One more thought: Henry Wechsler deserves some sort of media whore award for getting more mileage than I've ever seen out of a study done with questionable and ambiguous methodology and using that study mainly to advance his own name. He can bite me.
