texting = promiscuity and alcoholism.

So, on the way to school this morning, I was listening to the radio. The morning talk show said according to a recent survey, "Teens who send more than 120 texts a day are more likely to have sex and drink alcohol." Wait, what? Texting makes you more likely to be promiscuous and a drunk?

"The study's authors aren't suggesting that "hyper-texting" leads to sex, drinking or drugs, but say it's startling to see an apparent link between excessive messaging and that kind of risky behavior."

This just seems a little far fetched to me. Granted, I am currently twenty years old, but even in high school I was an avid texter [Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. It's a fault.], and I was neither promiscuous or into alcohol and drugs.

I'd see it the other way around actually-

drinking leads to texting which leads to sex.

At least, that's how it has happened in my case a few drunken nights....
