The Princeton Review publishes a ton of rankings each year. Since the Top Party Schools list gets a bunch of media attention and hits on my blog, here is my contribution to the journalistic ethic of fair and balanced reporting.
This list of the top 20 Stone Cold Sober Schools for 2009 includes the four military academies, along with some schools that have religious ties. Comparing the list of "Party" and "Sober" schools suggests that the student body desire to imbibe goes up in direct correlation to the number of times the school's football team appears each year in the highlights on ESPN's Sports Center.

What? Where's Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids? That's known, at least locally, more as a sober school than Calvin is.
this is such a lie... Bryn Mawr chicks get wicked drunk and go to Swarthmore to party.
What about Kings Point? It's the only military academy not listed!!
