iPod More Popular Than Beer?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the screwed-up-priorities dept.

prostoalex writes "Whenever someone says college students, the first thing that comes to mind is drinking beer, right? Wrong, says new research by Student Monitor, which claims than in 2006 73% of students it surveyed said iPods were in, while beer drinking and Facebook.com fought for the second place with 71% of popular votes."

    The margin of error is 2.3% so they are all really tied.

    Still whats better than jamming out with your iPod while surfinf Facebook and getting drunk?

    Not everyone likes beer. The percentage is higher with college females. Why didn't they ask 'alcohol' instead of 'beer'?
