iPods More “In” Than Beer on College Campuses

Posted by massnerder on June 8, 2006

Cnn is reporting on a survey done by the Student Monitor.  The survey gave students a list of activities and asked whether they were "in."  73% of the respondents rated the iPod as "in" — beating beer and facebook.com at 71%.

I guess I'm not really surprised.  When I was in college (the mid 90's), it didn't really seem like getting drunk was really that high of a priority.  It certainly wasn't a huge priority for me.  I was definitely more into my CD's.  It's the time I was discovering bands like Pennywise, NOFX, the Vandals, Voodoo Glow Skulls, etc.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think it's weird to use the term "in" with beer?
