Do we really need a study to tell us this? I think you could go to a bar and figure this out.

They need to do a study on why men find naked women attractive... so I can give a decent answer to all the girls that ask that question.

My favorite response right now... "Because God made us that way"

Seriously though, why do people research stuff like this? I think it's Popular Science that puts out lists of studies like this where people investigate the particulars of what is commone knowledge

EIU wasn't a sponsor of this study by chance?

Doubt it - the people that participated only drank an average of what, 2 or 3 days a week?

Will we see a movement in the State Legislature to ban drinking in bars? I think we should. We need to protect everyone at all times.

Maybe someone should do a study about why they do studies like this.

Happened before in the 1880's, the backlash against that public prohibition led to the first Democratic gov. in Iowa since 1850's. After a few years the Republican stranglehold was back but pretty that singular issue propelled the Democrats to victory for a few years.

Is this why there is so many more fights in campustown then on campus? I could never figure out why everybody got along on campus then fight at the bars.
