Study Shows People with Tatoos Drink More

Correlation does not equal causation. That is all.
It is sad, and a bit worrying that so many people are saying the study is wrong, because either
1. They don't drink
2. They know someone with tattoos who does not drink
3. Because they assume the study is saying that tattoos make you drink.
Personally, I'm perfectly willing to believe that, statistically, people with tattoos drink more.
There needs to be a bit more thought about this, and a bit less defensiveness...0 -
We also cuss like truckers.
NO its sailors, get it right suka! GAWL..
I cuss worse than that & I don't have any tats.0 -
hmm interesting... *skips to the bar*
WOW! Anyone else now have the urge to get a drink inducing tattoo?0 -
So is there something wrong with drinking more? I bet we are happier too.0
-
Thinking of getting a tat.... Just Sayin'0

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".
Me too I think Ill try for a grant to study if people who crap have a toilet.
headline:
Study shows99% of people who sit to crap have a toilet to sit on
DEAR LORD this hits my list of useless infromation0 -

My tattoo must be broken.
This really did make me LOL.
What a stupid bunch of bull *kitten*! I can't keep up with some of my friends who are not tattooed. What does that say about me and them??0 -
ahh, corelation is fun when it's presumed to also mean causation0

Haha I have many tattoos. Currently have a quarter sleeve, working to a half sleeve. I drink once like every 6 months.0

I don't steal stuff!0

Title should be "Study shows another reason people with Tattoos are awesome"0
-
I have tattoos and I barely drink 3 times a year.. They will do a study on anything anymore. I am sure scientists can find something to research that will actually help the world.0

I call BS.. My hubby and I hardly ever drink.0

Popcorn.0

This is backwards.... drunk people get more tatoos0

Clearly, people with tattoos have more fun. :drinker: Kidding! I have a tattoo and don't drink (and even at the height of my college partying days, every friend I had drank more often and more heavily than I did, and none of them are tattooed). But I reckon this study is a little limited in its scope--they should probably run further tests for greater accuracy, because honestly, that's a pretty small and limited sample size (as it's been pointed out, if you're at a bar to begin with, you're probably there to drink).0

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

Interesting. But all it shows is that the people had more alcohol in their system when walking out of the door, not more drinks in total!0 -
i only have a little tattoo and i only drink a little...so the study must be true. :laugh:0
-
maybe you have to have more than 3 for this to be true... I have 3 and I think I've had one drink in the past year. Now prior to have tats I drank more.0
-
SWEET it just means have more fun! Stupid studies! I don't drink at all (pancreas condition I can not drink so I mean none), married, and a good person I have 70
-
This wins the prize for the stupidest *kitten* I've ever read.
hahaha Couldn't agree more.....now lets get drunk and have some unprotected sex while skydiving through Iraq
BWHAHAHAH!
/wins thread0 -
It's cuz we get sooo thirsty sitting in a tattoo chair.
I probably do drink more! ~0 -
:laugh: ahahahaha, I have 5 tattoos and despise the taste, and effect, of alcohol. Even if I go out, I don't drink.0

Popcorn.
People with tats eat more popcorn too?
Listen all you tatted popcorn eating drunks, don't dare try to corner the market on M&Ms!!! :grumble:0 -

I have 12 single tattoos and a half sleeve and guess what?!
I DONT DRINK!0 -
I'll drink to that! :drinker:0

I feel like the correlation equals causation in this study is backwards, and I'm calling it out for being poor science in general. I think a much more likely conclusion is people who are natural risk takers, are more like to drink more, as well as more likely to get tattoos.
Or at the very least drinking more may result in getting more tattoos, on a particularly wild night0 -

Could it be that people who get drunk are more likely to get inked?0
