Just how popular is the iPod? It’s surpassed beer as most popular item on campus, according to college students.

According to a biannual market research study, 73% of students surveyed declared the iPod “in” – more than any other item in a list that also included text messaging, bar hopping and downloading music.

“In the year-ago study, only 59% of students named the iPod as “in,” putting the gadget well below alcohol-related activities,” writes the AP.

“Alcohol-related activities”? That’s a long list.
