Music Makes Beer Go Faster
Some sound research out of France has determined that turning up music makes people finish their beers about three minutes more quickly. The average time it took to drink a beer fell to about 11 minutes when the music was cranked. Their theory is that when the music is too loud to talk, people just drink instead. I can't help but wondering what the results would be if they broke down the data by genre. Would loud country music make you drink even faster than loud rock music?And what would the holler ‘n' swaller phenomenon do to their margin of error?

Let’s experiment with it and turn on some Kanye and have a beer then turn on some Avril and have a beer and then some Dolly and have a beer and see what happens.

Oddly enough, beer also makes music go faster.

Years ago I actually read a study comparing drinking with different styles of music playing. I don’t know about the speed of drinking, but the study concluded that people drink more when country music is playing. Wish I could remember the source, but that was probably 20 years ago.
