The declinc in sales ofalcohol across thc bar is visible throughout the country, says the prcsident ot l5urfiam Student Union, Nick Piekłeś. This is partly financial, but also represents a change in yóuth culture. The Durham SU bar has stopped selling real ajf, says Mr Piekłeś, because there was no demami - and the appeal of traditional pubs for young drinkers seems limited. He adds that students may still be drinking alcohol, but, rather than spending time in pubs, they buy winę from supermarkets, or go to bars.

While there are so many headlines about excessive consumption of alcohol among the young in generał, these changes involving students raise the prospect of morę American-style, heahhy-living youngsters at least on campus . lt's not good news for the pub industry, which has already seen so many inner-city pubs close.

No longer can student trends be dismissed as referring only to a smali, unrepresentative group, as almost half of all young people now go to university, with morę than two-thirds of „ those in morę affluent parts of the country going on to higher education. j ^V In the view of Veronica King, NUS Vice-President for welfare.TbeTaćtors underlying the decline in student drinking are morę practical. Simply, students have neither enough time nor money for it. Debt reduces tbeir spending power, and with so many now having term-time jobs, they don't have the long hours to sit in pubs. When so much time is taken eaming money, the time pressure on academic work inereases, she says, and leisure activities tend to suffer "You're morę Iikely to find a student working behind a bar than drinking in front ofone these days.”
