Study Shows People with Tatoos Drink More

UponThisRock

Of course, I realized I misspelled "Tattoos" a half a second after it was too late :drinker:

The researchers asked nearly 3,000 young men and women as they were exiting bars on a Saturday night if they would take a breathalyzer test. Of those who agreed to take it, the researchers found that people with tattoos had consumed more alcohol than those without tattoos, the researchers said.

Previous studies have shown that tattooed individuals are more likely to engage in risky behaviors, such as unprotected sex, theft, violence and alcohol consumption, compared to people without tattoos

I guess I need more tattoos than the five I have... I'm not at drunk criminal status yet.

Sounds like I need to hangout with more tattooed people. They sound like they have all the fun!

I'm clearly in the wrong line of work...you know those researchers got a huge grant to conduct that study...I'm going to apply for a grant to do a study to see if "Gingers" are more prone to sunburn than non-"Gingers".

I thought part of being a "Straight Edge" as to get tattoos to show your commitment to staying clean.

They should add that we fight more, too. We like to punch MSNBC reporters in the throat for poor journalism.

Oh lord.

Next there will be a study on how tattoo ink creates chemical imbalances in the brain and impairs mental processes.

I have 3.. so the more I get the more wild I'll get???

If so, there is only so much more I can do. I'm running out of wild things to do. :devil:

This is just one of those general links...

Like people that are closer to the perfect ratio from eyes to nose have a greater amount of anti hepatitis (b) surface antigen, the same with testosterone levels in relation to body weight and the same antigen aswell...

fatboypup

people with tattoos are generally better spellers also

Hmmm- pretty sure that test has no validity whatsoever. I have 3 tattoos- and I don't drink at all...

studies have also shown that when someone walks out of a mcdonalds and is requested to say their pant size, "small" is usually not stated as much as M/L/XL/+++

Correlation does not equal causation. That is all.

My tattoo must be broken.

Sumo813

I'd just like to say that I can drink enough to put a rhino down... and I have no tattoos. lol

smiles4deb

I didn't start getting tattoos until after I had stopped drinking...

sunshine__angel

Lol interesting! I have 15 tattoos but I don't think I fit into this category. I enjoy drinking on occasion but I have non-tattooed friends who could definitely out-drink me! Lol.

DaBossLady24
