Hey, nobody said you can't drink while listening to your ipod...still hard to believe that an mp3 player beat out drinking for University students though.
haha that picture is gold
iPods win again, take that Creative!
...only because they have not seen the light yet!
I'd rather have a Gigabeat.
The last one to top the list over getting smashed was the internet in 1997. For those that care.
iDont..
Pscht! Try telling any British student this and watch as they spit luke warm diluted lager all over your face. iPods over drink indeed!
o no the next generation has been brainwashed into healthy eating and ipods. Bring back the beer, mcDonalds and microsoft life made more sense back then.
What a bunch of poofs. In my day you drunk until you puked, making up your own songs along the way.
Bla I'd rather have a sandisk mp3 player. I get all the ipod features plus an fm tuner and for less.
And I can't stand the word, "podcasting" since me and my friend were doing so well before podcasts. Back then they just called them mp3 shows which is what they are.
correction, well before ipods =p
I love my Cowon X5L. Thank you very much.
Now if Cowon would run advertising like they do for IPods...
This is not a surprise. It is a known worldwide fact that American lager tastes like water and Americans often complain that foreign beer tastes better, is stronger and of a better quality abroad.
Now that American students have put their country's lager in second place [to an iPod] only confirms the worldwide view on American lager. Oh dear.
this report is just.. SAD... what next? prefer it over sex?

No wonder bush is president ;)
Sheeeyit.. I love my ipod. Im far from a student. and i looove getting drunk. i was in a bar last night and took my ipod off when i walked in . i thought it would be rude to keep it on. Obviously i can see that school of thought going out the window with these young shiitheads too. so i picked a few pints a guinness over the ipod. this is in riverdale ny. (bronx)
haha great pic. ryan.
you idiots. you don't know the real reason for this. if someone offers me to take either free iPod or free beer, i will take iPod, sell it on ebay and drink a lot more beer with it.
sex > beer > iPod
The facts of life.

Since when could teenagers vote? :-)
Not only students prefer thouse hideous things but also dead comedians.
How silly, which would you rather have? A Ferrari or a sandwich?
"And I can't stand the word, "podcasting" since me and my friend were doing so well before podcasts. Back then they just called them mp3 shows which is what they are."
Ain't that a shame. I don't like WiFi either, don't even know where it came from. Airport is the better, as well as the first, name for 802.11 wireless.
"You know university students are becoming stupider when..."
I don't know how or why people would want an Ipod more than booze, but the survey is never wrong. Now give me a Archos AV 500 or a Cowon A2, and I would look the other way. But an Ipod? In my opinion, an Ipod is a waste of money, you can get any good MP3 player for 1/2 the price of the Ipod with all the same capabilities(and probrobly more!).
Bottomline, in my opinion, the study shows that everybody has an Ipod, and it's getting old. Period.
Get something new and stop idolizing the Ipod.

Music helps you think through your problems, beer makes you forget them. Cheers to better life management. :)
Where were made this survey ?
This is not a very good think even if iPOD is great -sometimes.

drunk out of my mind
i puked all over my ipod.
now it doesn't work.
