College Guys Don’t Find Drunk Girls Sexy

Mar 11, 2009 by Joe Keenan | Categories Alcohol, Binge Drinking, College, Daughters

From Medical News Today: A survey of 3,616 college students at two American universities found an overwhelming majority of women overestimated the amount of alcohol a typical guy would like his female friends, dates or girlfriends to drink. The results can be found in the March issue of Psychology of Addictive Behaviors, published by the American Psychological Association.

“Although traditionally, men drink more than women, research has shown that women have steadily been drinking more and more over the last several decades,” said the study’s lead author, Joseph LaBrie, PhD, associate professor of psychology at Loyola Marymount University. “Our research suggests women believe men find excessive drinking sexually attractive and appealing, but it appears this is a giant misperception.”

  1. I read that article…. as a woman, it boggles my mind that anyone would think that excessive drinking would look sexy. It makes people think you’re a floozy, but by no means could I imagine that it makes a woman more attractive.

  2. I’m glad that someone is finally recognizing this. Alcoholic tendencies should never be encouraged, and the fact that most young men find it unappealing in women will hopefully act as a deterrent for women to get involved in alcoholic behaviours…
