Now I know he has just packed his precious daughter off to college but this article by Max Davidson in the Sunday Telegraph is truly, unutterably awful. It's inaccurate, stigmatises students, assumes they're all drunken louts and credits none of them with a modicum of common.
Davidson is wrong. The students I know are pleasant, hard-working, interested and yes, occasionally they get drunk and have a good time. Get used Max.

As a student, I have to agree. (Because insulting myself would be silly).
Couldn't agree more. The alcohol issue is in danger of becoming so hysterically presented that any serious warnings will be comprehensively ignored. And meanwhile, the stigmatising of students goes on, with ridiculous generalisations taking hold. Good post!!

Students ain't what they used to be - seems they are trying to get fit not drink!
