Loud Music May Make You Drink More

So according to a new study, Loud Music May Make You Drink More!

I drink the same all the time. Enough to get me drunk.

So Researchers visited two bars for a few Saturday nights. They observed 40 men from ages 18 to 25 who ordered beer but who did not know they were being watched. The scientists were allowed to change the volume of music before picking someone to watch.

One, in agreement with previous research on music, food and drink, high sound levels may have caused higher arousal, which led the subjects to drink faster and to order more drinks,” said Gueguen. “Two, loud music may have had a negative effect on social interaction in the bar, so that patrons drank more because they talked less.”

So who has all this time on there hands, hopefully the researchers were drinking.

Anyway, Full results will be published in the October issue of the journal Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research.
