https://www.fromthegrapevine.com/lifestyle/heres-how-much-you-can-drink-college-without-messing-your-job-prospects We have some bad news for college students: if you drink too much, you might not get a job after you graduate.

You may not be shocked by this news. You may, in fact, be used to hearing it all your life from parents and teachers. But now, there’s evidence. Scientists from Israel’s Tel Aviv University and New York’s Cornell University conducted a study to figure out how much drinking is too much when it comes to getting a job.

The scientists collected data from 827 students who had recently graduated from colleges around the U.S. Students who drank heavily (that means four drinks in two hours for women and five drinks in two hours for men) were in some pretty serious trouble when it came to finding jobs. Students who drank heavily four times a month were 6 percent less likely to land a full-time job when they graduated.

The more they binge drank, the worse it got. Those who binge drank six times a month were a full 10 percent less likely to snag that job.

But don’t throw away all your red cups yet. The same scientists who brought you this unfortunate news may have also pinpointed exactly how much you can drink without messing up your employment opportunities. They found that students who drank but didn’t binge drink were just as likely to get hired as students who didn’t drink.

Most guys that I went to school with that got s***-faced Thursday Friday Saturday at least three times a month is either in the oil patch or working construction (not that there’s anything wrong with construction).

I think it’s like most countries that don’t have that legal drinking age if you’re brought up around it and are allowed to do it, becomes part of your day like drinking water. When you have a chance to drink if you grow up around alcohol, you probably don’t look forward to getting wrecked every single time you get a moment.

It’s more of a cultural thing.

Unfortunately, the culture of college is to have sex with as many people as you can get as drunk as you can when you’re not writing exams and going to some stupid lab that you don’t want to go to at six at night.

I wouldn’t worry about this study if I were you. I’d go ahead and continue to binge “do” whatever the f*** you want, have a great time, and hope for that college degree. Anyone can get a college degree at any point in their life. What you can’t-do at any point in your life other than the ages of 18 to 24 is being a college student experiencing life for the first time. That only comes around once.

Here is the Moral of the story according to this study:  Get on it and stay on it if you want a real job out of University.  It’s the only way.  You’re welcome.
