USA Today reports that almost half of college freshmen spend more time drinking (10.2 hours per week) than studying (8.4 hours per week).

Of course, the other solution may be to train these students to read and study faster so they can get more studying done in the available time between booze-binges. But it's a race against time - to fill the brain with knowledge before it gets too pickled to absorb anything.
