Women better then Men at Drinking!!

OfflerCrocGod

According to this article they are better drinkers. I'm sure all us men know though that's it's a deeply flawed study. I mean come on! What next Women are better drivers then Men !

Of course we are better drivers. Do u know that men are bound to cause more road deaths than women because they think they can impress girls by speeding. They think own the road.

We always say that alcohol improves your ability to drive. With men it improves their ability to cause more road deaths!

There's actually been a proven link between alcohol and female hormones. You can see the effect of this easily enough, give anybody 9/10 pints and they'll talk sh*t for hours and won't be able to drive straight



(sorry, I know that's ancient but it just seemed so appropriate)

beer????

seamus

Pressing buttons? What kind of science is that?

That could also prove that men become more reactive to stimuli (i.e. reacting before thinking) when drunk. It could also prove that women become less reactive to stimuli, and therefore can't hold their drink.

I would however agree with the core of the study. Men do become less inhibited, but only because, for the most part, women are already far less inhibited than men.

Anyone see that BBC/Ch4 documentary last year wher they showed that womens' testosterone levels increase by up to 10 times when fluthered?

True but there is this misconception that men cause more accidents , infact women cause more , as the vast majority of minor accidents (bumper bashing) are caused by women , and there are a lot more minor accidents than major ones , therefore it is safe to say women cause more accidents .

me makes quiet exit from thread , before anyone tries to prove me wrong .

women can sure drink me under the table ... and by drink I mean suck ... (no I don't)...(yes I do)

azezil

women have greater fat reserves to absorbe the alcohol...









FAT AND JUBBLY! *shakes fist, jubblyyyy!!*

Dont be at yourself

But what are they doing out of the kitchen in the first place!

And so on.

smoke.me.a.kipper

seeing as im a complete lightweight, any woman could drink me under any table.

I think I speak on behalf of all intelligent people when I say, quite plainly, "Meh..."

ferdi

strange that 2/3 of the young people brought into A&Es around the country over weekends with alcohol related problems are women.

Saruman

Women currently drink a lot more than men.. though whether they can stay sober longer and handle it better?? Depends on the woman and man you compare her to. Also the time the test is done as sometimes you get drunk faster for no obvious reason.. maybe empty stomach or something.

I'm with Sarky! /me holds up a little banner

Ah, but what is a good drinker? Is it the person who can drink the most or the one that knows when to stop? Unfortunately many people think it is the first of those. Then in the process of trying to prove how good a drinker they are they just prove how bad a drinker they are, often with disastrous consequences, for themselves and for others. A good drinker will go out, have a few drinks, enjoy them, have a good night, get safely home and wake up the next morning knowing how they got home and remembering all the fun they had the night before. If you drink to get drunk or prove you can drink more than someone else, you should not be drinking. Drink is great, if you know how to use it. Drinking to get drunk or to outdo someone else is like getting into a car and hoping to crash. Go out and drink properly and you'll get far more enjoyment out of it. Cheers!

The participants were then asked to evaluate the effect they thought alcohol had on them, rating how well certain adjectives applied to them.

See, thats why its flawed, the women lied

Besides, men have a short attention span when it comes to this kind of thing...oh, a butterfly....

Generally speaking I am a lightweight, I don't see why people are so interested in being able to drink other people under the table, it just seems like a pointless exercise to me - drinking yourself into a drunken stupor, puking your guts up and not remembering what the hell you did or how the hell you got home (where the policeman's helmet and traffic cone got into your possession).

I will go out and have a few drinks with my mates, I am fairly sure that any lad has more potential to hold their drink than me so there's no real point in trying to play catch up tbh. So I generally stop drinking when I feel drunk, start drinking pints of water and just get on with dancing to get the alcohol out of my system.

What does "better at drinking mean"

from that article it says

Dr Fillimore added: "There is a general supposition that women don't hold their liquor very well but our results show that it is men who become uninhibited and get a high more quickly."

I see that as a bonus, I would love to get pissed on 2 bottles of beer, would save me a fortune and my liver/brain

Sleepy

How much had the various participants in the group had to eat that day?
How much sleep had they had the night before?
What alcohol were they drinking?
What weights were they?
How fit were they?
What was their body fat percentage?
How used to drinking were they?
What defines a social drinker and is this different for men and women?
Were any of them drinking the night before?

There's far too many variables missing from that report than I could comment on before lunchtime... An experiment is useless unless you use controls and subjects that have only one difference ceteris paribus.

So how many tas euros were wasted on this piece of nonsense anyway?

I agree totally with you and rather drink to enjoy than drink to get drunk - but I think we all go through the drink to get drunk phase before we cop on and realise its much better to be merry and remember the brilliant night you had rather than ask your mate the next day "how did we get home?"

As for the women drinking more than men - as already has been pointed out its just too general - it depends on the height, weight of a person, if they have eaten, do they mix drinks, were they tired etc. etc. Myself I'm a lightweight and has to pace myself but my cousin could drink bottles and bottles of bulmers and she'd be only tipsy and if I drank the same I would be getting pumped out!
