"That Girl Can Drink!" Yikes.


Over the years, the thought of what goes on while in college wanders beyond just books, class and all-nighters. There is another thought behind the idea of going away to college that has high school kids glowing and alumni and parents reminiscing on their college days- that idea is partying. Let's narrow it down a little bit more; drinking.


It is a stereotypical yet somewhat true aspect of what college life is all about, the drinking, the partying, the ladies. But, what if you are one of those ladies, and you drink A LOT!


Some girls like to think that a man likes a girl who can drink. And surely a man likes a girl who can have a drink or two and not go streaking around the party or pass out on the bathroom floor, but what about the girls who try and keep up with the boys and their drinking habits? Do guys find a girl who can drink to be an attractive quality?

Many girls may think that their high tolerance for alcoholic beverages is a positive quality in a mans eyes. However, an article on ScienceDaily.com regarding a study done by Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, shows that men aren't as interested in how much a girl can drink as the ladies think they are.

The study showed that girls thought a man would want them to drink nearly twice as much as the man actually wanted them to.

Actually, this reminds be on a scene from the 2007 movie "Superbad," only backwards. The guy is trying to impress the girl in the movie by drinking heavily, and in turn makes a fool of himself.

Hopefully, there are not too many nice young college girls out there trying to out-drink those frat guys in hopes for a date, because first of all, no man is worth that, and secondly, that doesn't seem to be a good quality in their eyes after all!
