Research Report

Background
We found interesting news on the website which reported women drink more than men, while we felt it doubtful. In London, thousands of PUBs are seen ubiquitously and lots of people drink there as a culture. Therefore, it might be interesting to figure out the difference of drinking habit between they had in their own countries and their present drinking habit here focusing on international students of London met.

Aims
The purpose of this report is to investigate why they change the drinking habits if that is the case, and whether or not female students drink more than male students.

Method

The Sample
The sample size was 27. These respondents were of different ages and genders, and from different countries. They were all students of London Metropolitan University.
Date Collection
This was carried out through the use of a questionnaire. Initially the questions were trialled with a sample of 3 people. A new improved question was then devised. Some said it is hard to describe how much they drink. Therefore measurement of quantity was unified into milli-liter. This comprised 12 questions about drinking habit they have now and they used to, furthermore if the drinking habit is changed, the reasons were asked.

Findings
Findings regarding the drinking habit
Exactly one third of respondents drink more frequently in London, while around 20 percent of students drink less in London. But in terms of quantity they drink, there are no students responding they drink more than they come to London, on the other hand, 16 percent of students replying that they drink less than before. And the reason why they changed their drinking habit was diversified. However, it is likely that influence of friends and Pubs strongly affect them.
As to the question women are drinking much more than men, as a result of the survey, the proportion between male and female students drinking more than 2 cans a week is 65:35. This proved men tend to drink more than women and the article was not true.

Conclusion
As a result, it might be better not to believe all information on newspaper without any doubt. Sometimes the date might be wrong, the denominator is limited to some area or people, and the time for research was different every time or inappropriate. Lots of cases surely cause mistakes. Therefore, you always mind the gap of truth and untruth.
