Coeds Drink More At Themed Parties

January 9, 2008 | ISSUE 44•02

A study conducted by researchers at San Diego State University and the University of Michigan found that college women are encouraged to drink more at theme parties. What do you think?

In my day, women didn't abuse alcohol until after we got married, became housewives, and realized our lives were over.

Interesting. Same thing happens to me on work-themed days.

'Theme' is not the correct term. I think you mean 'motif.' I'll be in my office until four if you need any further notes.
