Its not such a bad influence, its simply university (for you Yanks "College") life! Plus drinking age is 18 in UK not 21 so we drink at a much younger age and underage drink at a much lower age too. A fair amount of English 13 year olds (definitely 15 year olds) in the UK have drank alcohol be it on park benches or at house parties...

Now while this may be considered a bad influence, let me tell you I haven't been out for over a week now, and the past two days I've spent in the library revising for hours on end! However on June 6th (my last exam) I plan on going straight to the pub and drinking until the next day...
