College students: iPods better than beer

Kids these days. When I was a college man, my pals and I spent many an evening tying one on getting to know the locals socializing. According to Student Monitor, which conducts market research of student life, the iPod was rated as being more of an "in" thing than beer when the company recently polled 1,200 students. Granted, it was a close call (the iPod nabbed a rating of 73% while beer brought in 71%), but still, I was quite surprised. I love my iPod and all, but I'm not going to turn down a (properly poured) Guinness.

What's your take, students: Your brew or your iPod?
