    Where does the stat come from? Is it national or specific to a particular
    school.

    2/3 = 1/4 is what Wes Perkins uses; we use 3/4 = 1/3 (they are both
    interestingly accurate). Three fourths of students drink only one-third
    of the total number of alcoholic drinks consumed by students in an average
    week at _____. Clearly, turning it around, only one-fourth of the students
    consume two -thirds of all the alcohol.
