WHO’S THE BOOZIEST?
A survey reveals who gets the most battered on a night out…
It seems that those who study subjects handling money are more likely to splash their cash on alcohol…
The booziest students are those studying Accounting and Finance and Economics students come a close second…
According to another study by StudentBeans.com, Economics students also have more sex than any other subject… Legends.
Cardiff Met students who might study Sports Science came in at number 7.
Those studying English are too busy burying their head in books to spend money came in at number 37. Unlucky.
At the very end of the scale we see students of Nursing, Midwifery and Healthcare reassuring us that our future NHS workers will mostly be sober… Great news!
