Cannabis, cocaine and ecstacy are the top three illegal drugs abused by students in one of our leading universities, according to a new study.
The study of a sample of 181 students at University College Cork found that one quarter had used cannabis in the previous year.
The second most common illegal drug was cocaine -- used by 6.9pc -- while ecstacy was in third place, at four per cent. Other drugs they used also included magic mushrooms, tranquillisers or sedatives, amphetamines and LSD.
The confession over drugs came on top of their admission that 98pc drank alcohol, with 44pc binge drinking once a week.
