Students swap pints for Pilates
The stereotypes of the beer-drinking, kebab-eating health disaster zone is being left behind by students, who are switching to a more puritanical, clean-living lifestyle, according to a recent survey. About 25% are now teetotal, the National Union of Students’ Service Section says – while the rest of the student population shows a growing appetite for exercise facilities and healthy eating. This contrasts sharply with that widespread image of the beer-drinking layabout fond of late-morning lie-ins after long nights spent in smoky backstreet pubs.
As a sign of the times, the plan from NUS Services is to promote a new juice bar concept in Student Union buildings around the country, And next month, NUS Welfare Section will invite Student Unions to promise that more events will be held in alcohol-fee venues – so that a wider range of students may take part in activities.
The Campaign for Real Ale said that 26 pubs close every month – but there are few signs that students will be filling the empty bar stools. If anything, they appear to be leading the departure from the bar – with a major annual survey of the student life carried out by the Mori polling organization, showing a 13-percent-point fall in students going to the pub as a leisure activity, compared to five years ago. The pub is now a minority activity, only 1% ahead of sport and exercise as a way of spending spare time. Nick Emms of NUS Services says there is a clear trend away from pub-going, and this “has become more pronounced in the past four or five years.” He adds that students expect a much wider range of social activities – and are more health conscious as well as being more likely to use exercise facilities than the general population. Day-time drinking – an age-old pursuit among students – has virtually disappeared.
With young people more likely to hit the exercise bikes than the lager, Student Unions have been abandoning their old-fashioned, beer-soaked image. The University of London Student Union has turnec one of its two traditional bars into a café-style area, with healthier food – and will be made be made non-smoking. Serving about 5,000 students a day, the Union has its own private health club, with 60 exercise stations and a swimming pool. Those thinking student entertainment means six pints and an Elvis impersonator should check the weekly ULU schedule, whose 50 exercise classes include “yoga sculpt,” Pilates, aerobiking and boxercise. The student population is more diverse and used to a wider range of entertainments than drinking pints in a pub, says a ULU spokesperson. Apparently, the recent introduction of non-alcoholic cocktails was well received.
The decline in sales of alcohol across the bar is visible throughout the country, says the president of Durham Student Union, Nick Pickles. This is partly financial, but also represents a change in youth culture. The Durham SU bar has stopped selling real ale, says Mr Pickles, because there was no demand – and the appeal of traditional pubs for young drinkers seems limited. He adds that students may still be drinking alcohol, but, rather than spending time in pubs, they buy wine from supermarkets, or go to bars.
While there are many headlines about excessive consumption of alcohol among the young in general, these changes involving students raise the prospect of more American-style, healthy-living youngsters at least on campus. It’s not good news for the pub industry, which has already seen so many inner city pubs close.
No longer can student trends be dismissed as referring only to a small, unrepresentative group, as almost half of all young people now go to university, with more than two thirds of hose in more affluent parts of the country going on to higher education.
In the view of Veronica Kong, NUS Vice President for welfare, the factors underlying the decline in student drinking are more practical. Simply, students have neither enough time nor money for it. Debt reduces their spending power, and with so many now having term-time jobs, they don’t have the long hours to sit in pubs. When so much time is taken earning money, the time pressure on academic work increases, she says, and leisure activities tend to suffer. “You’re more likely to find a student working behind a bar than drinking in front of one these days,”
