Why is hooking up in college so common?

We live in a culture where hooking up is often how we figure out how to find a date. I actually figured how to find a date while totally sober about 9 years ago now. It's not that I was like a drunk. I figured out this truth while writing my advice column where millions of people were writing to me and I was single and searching. What I discovered is that the way dating works is like this: if we're in a room long enough, eventually we will hook up. Think of a classroom or any room where there's a club or organizational event going on. The other way it works is if you're in a room with alcohol, it happens that much faster. You don't need to be in the room a long time. That's really how we learn how to find a date, is if we're in a room long enough that we'll hook up, and if we're in a room with alcohol, it happens faster. We're also told that we shouldn't look for it, because it will find us. The only way we know how to find love is by finding a hook-up, but there are other ways to do it.
