Drinking games and women
 
March 7, 2007 ]

Drinking games see gender gap

By Leslie Finlay and Sara Kennedy
For The Collegian

Typically deemed a male-dominated past time, drinking games are now more popular among women, according to a recent study.

The Loyola Marymount University (LMU) found that male and female students engage in similar drinking routines, but women are more likely to be playing drinking games when drinking.

Women played drinking games an average of 27.7 percent of the time they drank while men averaged 24.7 percent, according to the study.
--

Furthermore, the study found women are nearly 30 percent more likely to binge drink when playing drinking games, averaging 6.29 drinks a night. --

"A key finding was that with drinking games, women are more likely to have negative consequences, such as unwanted hookups, unprotected sex, missing class and even noticing changes in their own personality," LaBrie said.

"[Women are] moving from typical drinks like beer and wine to "Alco-pops," such as mixed drinks and bottled beverages like Smirnoff Ice, while men are sticking to beer," Major said. ...

"One of the things we're not seeing is the social stigma that used to be attached with drinking," Major added. "With women 10 years ago, there was a lot of negative social stigma if you got drunk. It's not so much today."

Missing class was never a negative consequence for me.

How about you, Dale?

Saying Zippy Zamboni - drink 1.

Saying Harry Baals - drink 2.

Not being smart enough to create an anonymous email address to use when posting your homoerotic child porn - chug the pitcher.
