I think universities should be held accountable for some of the behaviour, as well as local clubs and bars. Alcohol promotion is shoved down our throats, when we have a binge drinking issue in the country. Then we get people such as Lauren, and those who don't drink for whatever reason, who feel completely isolated. I enjoy alcohol, but I couldn't drink every night or get drunk like they promote in freshers or these Carnage events.

Maybe if we didn't promote it so much then we wouldn't see some of the irresponsible behaviour as seen in the show. It's about time the universities actually organised alternative activities to drinking every night. Then those who don't drink can fit in better, it can be discrimination at times especially those with medical issues.

Uni of Leicester must be having a PR meltdown

I was thinking that whilst watching it but in fairness to Leicester they are doing everything that they can to make sure their students are safe and healthy (I was particularly impressed with Union staff helping that girl home after she had a bit too much).

It would be a bit naive to think that the issues that the programme addresses are exclusive to Leicester; they happen at every university or any area with a young population.

What would put me off is sharing a flat with 21​ people!

I'm a bit like Lauren in the terms that I don't drink(health reasons)..but if i still socialise with my flatmates and go out with them and drink lemonade or something will I end up being like her and sat crying by myself? I'll join in with their drinking games just with water or lemonade... Idk I feel really nervous now.

As in it makes the uni look bad

i dont use FB that often. in year 13 i am going to be more social and increase my number of FB friends

I just read your username and reached a conclusion

I didn't know you could share with that amount of people, thought it was 11/12 at best in some places.

One of my friends at Royal Holloway is sharing a floor (not individual flats) with 40 people. She is catered though, so they obviously don't need as much kitchen space.

I don't think I could share with that many

I totally agree that there should be more events organised for non-drinkers. As someone who doesn't drink, I feel uncomfortable being around drinking and drunk people so I can imagine why Lauren felt so overwhelmed.

I don't think people like her should be made to feel like they have to join in, in order to have a good social life. I think societies are a good idea because it focuses on people's hobbies instead of drinking.

If it was catered then why would you care?



I knew someone that lived in a flat of 25, although their kitchen had 4 of everything. 4 sinks, 4 ovens etc
