Professor of sociology talks about "30 Reasons Girls Should Call It A Night"
"There is nothing surprising with young people going out for a drink - I think most people have done it," explains Frank Furedi, professor of sociology at the University of Kent.
"But there is a problem if young people are using drunkenness itself as a way of reaching out and communicating, of forging camaraderie and bonds.
"People have always wanted to be noticed but in the past it was by the way you dressed, the job you did, the impression you made by the way you talked and the language you used.
"Today it is all about posting a picture on the internet and stating: 'Hey, don't I look outrageous.'
"It's very sad, almost tragic, that young people feel they have to become caricatures of themselves and go to such desperate lengths for the simple sake of being noticed."
