Workers more likely to find it acceptable to be hospitalised through drink, survey reveals

They have a reputation for spending all their time in the pub, but a survey suggests that students are more responsible drinkers than young adult workers. A poll of around 1,700 young people reveals that students are more likely to drink less, and less likely to find it acceptable to end up in hospital due to alcohol. But three in 10 students (30%) still admit to losing their memory after drinking. The survey, commissioned by the charity Drinkaware, found that just 9% of students say they drink 16 units of alcohol or more on a night out, compared to 12% of young working adults.
