Their explanation that college students are conformists or that it's rationalized because "everyone else is doing it" seems strange. I always assumed it was much simpler than that: although you'd prefer to be in a relationship with someone you are absolutely crazy about, this isn't always possible. So in the absence of that people like to drink and hookup. Hardly newsworthy.
