mercurynews.com — "Nearly three quarters, or 73 percent, of 1,200 students surveyed said iPods were "in" - more than any other item in a list that also included text messaging, bar hopping and downloading music. In the year-ago study, only 59 percent of students named the iPod as "in," putting the gadget well below alcohol-related activities."

I'm sure college kids everywhere never mix drinks and ipods.

I started on vodka moved to everclear and then backtracked to beer. I have to say that while everclear is a great way to get drunk quick it does nothing to make the night fun and memorable.

The problem with this sort of comparison comes from the fact normal (healthy) beer consumption is an occasional activity, limited most often to the weekend, while normal iPod usage can occur every day. It's like asking college students: "What's more popular, sex or ink pens?" While I find myself having pens way more often than I have sex, it doesn't mean I wouldn't always choose sex over an ink pen. The two are simply incompatible for comparison, like beer drinking and iPods. Even limiting each to its independent realm, you still can't compare them--since beer drinking is frequently a social activity, while listening to an iPod is a (usually) more personal activity.
