On the other hand, drinking with friends in frats is a time-honored tradition for getting ahead.

(I don't think it has worked _quite_ like that in sororities)

That said, I had a flatmate who was in school, and with whom I drank, and somehow that turned into starting a winery.

(If I'm going to be pedantic, I'd also point out that we literally _never_ got drunk doing this, so it's probably _technically_ closer to "trying new hobbies" than "getting drunk", but I feel as though that ruins the entertainment value, so would be fine if people pretend this paragraph doesn't exist.)

Not that this means I disagree with your statement. I'm just prone to some amount of being contrary because of my brain always trying to find flaws in data and arguments.
