College students kick their weekends off early by drinking more alcohol on Thursday nights when they don’t have Friday classes before 10 a.m., a study shows.
The study, published in the July issue of Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, found that the later their classes started on Friday, the more college students drank on Thursday nights. Students with a 9 a.m. Friday class drank an average of 1.39 drinks on Thursday night, while students who did not have class on Friday drank an average of 2.41 drinks.
