Summary
Living out of home for the first time...No rules...Hardly any lectures...And a heap of borrowed cash? Sounds like the ingredients for a good time right?!
Although for some the University years are when you discover what it truly is you want to do with your life. You work hard, get good grades and kickstart your careers from there.
For Hame and Vic (amongst many others!) - this was not the case.
These can be heavy drinking years. Years when drinking for a bit of 'fun' - soon turns into an uncontrollable habit. Universities seemed to be designed for exactly this reason!
Over the course of today's episode Hame and Vic will take a look behind why we drank to excess at Uni, what the dangers are and why students today are inspiring them to better themselves!
