...and young people drink in order to score:
Europeans get drunk 'to have sex'

Young adults in Europe deliberately binge on drink and drugs to improve their sex lives, research suggests.

The UK has one of the worst reputations for binge drinking and underage sex but there are striking similarities between countries, a study found.

A third of 16 to 35-year-old men and 23% of women questioned said they drank to increase their chance of sex.

Don't be silly. His horns would scare them off.

I myself drink to have fun :confused:

this is all Stella's fault because anyone who is drinking that is certainly not having fun

Young people were also more at risk of unsafe sex while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, the study found.

That's new for me. I don't drink so that I can score, I let other people drink so that I can score ;)

Why get drunk to have sex? Getting someone else drunk seems to make a lot more sense. Or is it necessary to wear beer-goggles yourself?

You need to drink to do that?
I find that hard to believe.
He's from Scotland. In Scotland, you basically need to pour Tobermory on yer cornflakes in the morning or going to work / uni / the dole office will seem pointless and boring.

The fact that many Onion articles tend to become reality is indeed somewhat scary. Years ago they even predicted the 5 bladed razor...

Proponents of the water is wet doctrine or concept claim that their belief is correct, however, critics point out that the vast majority of the doctrine is false. Critics note that their claim suffers from circular logic, and accuse proponents of using ad hominems to further their argument. Believers often lash out aggressively at those who point out that water is, in fact, dry. "Wet" water is often an assumed position, by definition, and therefore critics argue the proponent's argument is flawed, in definitional terms. Ice, for example, is a form of water and, at -204°C, is often described as dry at that temperature. As a result, proponents of the "water is wet" dogma are seen by some as ill-informed on the nature of water. The main proponents of this dogma work in water-related industry, leading some to believe that the water is wet concept is more likely propaganda.

mmmm....drunk sex....

no witty responce...that just sounds like fun right now.

I blame the media. If we didn't have those super models and such glamorized some social idea of good looks we wouldn't have to get drunk enough to lower our standards in the first place.

Conan O'Brien: A study published today finds that women are more articulate than men. Well, all I can say to those researchers is, DUHHH-uhhh-UHHH!

What about us that binge drink for the sake of drinking?

Trust me, by the time I'm done, I have a hard enough time getting up, let alone getting it up.

You can drink yourself sober. Don't believe me? Try it, I dare you.
