I wonder if there has been a study of how much money is spent by heavy partying college students, and how much of that, on average is funded by parents, how much by the students themselves, how much by debt etc. Obviously, the funding couldn't be directly tied to one income source in many cases, but it would be interesting to see if students whose parents pay for most or all of their studies are more or less likely to be serious partiers. Also, what about all the wasted time and energy that could be used for work while in school that instead for partying. How much of the overall student loan crisis in general could be ameliorated with a less partying policy.
