If anybody's a parent with college kids, this might me some news, or probably not. From the Princeton Review.
It used to be when I was young, Playboy Magazine had the corner on the annual "Party School Report." Since I don't follow things much anymore I don't know how Princeton Review took over that honor. I mean, who actually goes and observes and decides these things? Somebody has to win. And somebody decides. And probably somebody who's not there all the time.
Back when I was a puppy, the University of South Carolina was at the top of Playboy's party list for a year. I went there for a rock concert that year, by coincidence. I went into one of the dorms, where my friend was lodged. There were kids running down the hall and doing the slippy-slide thing all the way down the long hall, sliding on puke. On a Tuesday night.

Having been in Salt Lake City for two days, I think we can might as well weld Brigham Young U into the top spot for sober now and forever, just by proximity to what I saw there some miles away.
And on both lists, look at the range of locations. There's not a trend on the map at all, either way. So there's crazy spots and church mouse spots. All over. All I'm saying is....I don't know what I'm saying, that's what I'm saying.
