Researchers at the University of Canberra today have presented findings about students’ drinking behaviour at the university. They have found 86 per cent of students are drinkers and almost half of them drink at harmful levels.
The most common negative effects of alcohol use reported were:
- vomiting,
- embarrassing behaviour
- memory loss.
Well. duh, students drink, and get pissed. I wonder how much they spent on the research to establish this fact.

Gee, that’s enlightening!
So, what were the positive effects of alcohol use?
I did a lot of that sort of research myself when I was a student. And since!
This is great. Just tooo… funny. What a waste of money. Thanks so much for stopping by my little place on the web. Take care.
It’s said that observations affect outcomes. I wonder what effect the observations had on these outcomes?
I agree with Michelle – it’s waste of money – better spent on drinks!
OMG that is hysterical, oh the things they spend money on.
I wonder if they did practical testing to prove their hypothesis. I would be happy to sign up to participate.
Wow, I’m in the 14%!
I could have told them this 30 years ago while I was doing intensive practical research on the subject in uni hall bars at uni parties and on pub crawls with other students who wanted to bond – including those that did some intimate bonding and regretted it the next morning!
