Young adults in Europe deliberately binge on drink and drugs to improve their sex lives, research suggests.

The UK has one of the worst reputations for binge drinking and underage sex but there are striking similarities between countries, a study found.

A third of 16 to 35-year-old men and 23% of women questioned said they drank to increase their chance of sex…

The researchers said although it was well known that use of alcohol and drugs was linked to risky sexual behaviour, this study showed many young people were “strategically” binge drinking or abusing drugs to improve their sex lives.

Every little bit helps.

    you mean young people have sex after drinking?

    perish the thought.

    never heard of such a thing.

  2. Cinaedh says:

    When you get older, the whole thing works exactly opposite.

  3. Sue Blowjobsky says:

    I’d have to be drunk to sleep with a fat UK chick too!

  4. The Pirate says:

    Good to see studies in Europe are as stupid as the ones in the US.

    What a no brainer conclusion, I am glad they have the data now to back up the facts. Or do they? Better run a comparison study just to be sure.

  5. Esteban says:

    How is this different from anywhere else?

  6. GigG says:

    16 to 35. That’s a pretty wide demographic to be labeling simply as “young people.”

  7. bill says:

    I always thought it was the other way around..
    healthy = more sex…

  8. Breetai says:

    Maybe we should commission a study to see if circles are really round.

  9. OmegaMan says:

    To add to what #5 said…and this has changed how since Roman times?

  10. Uncle Ben says:

    They missed out the other study where they found that Europeans also get drunk ‘not to have sex’.

    lol “The Pirate”, you are the best. I love your comment!

  12. Xhristy says:

    As an 18 year old Irish guy I have to say that this “research” is spot on.

    Personally I don’t drink, but all my friends do and this is probably the main reason.

  13. OhForTheLoveOf says:

    #6 – 16 to 35. That’s a pretty wide demographic to be labeling simply as “young people.”

    Yet… from where I stand… those people are young.

    #11 – Personally I don’t drink, but all my friends do and this is probably the main reason.

    I don’t get why. If I’m horny and want a good fuck, and Sue Blowjobski isn’t answering the phone, and I go to the pub and find a fat UK chick with massive tits and crooked teeth… why would I ply myself with alcohol? I mean, who am I convincing… that’s what I came in here for…

    Depending on which was of us is fatter/uglier determines who has to wear a bag on their head. Alcohol helps.

  15. Steve-O says:

    #13 chuck – I just looked in the mirror and I think I’m gonna need a bigger bag……..

  16. Lou says:

    That’s how the ugly chicks get some fun.
    She was a 10 beer babe !
    Until tomorrow.

  17. brian t says:

    Well, if the movies are any guide, Americans have sex just so they can smoke afterwards…

  18. K B says:

    That cartoon looks like a caricature of Tigran Petrosian. No wonder he doesn’t know or care– he’s dead!

  19. MMMMMM? If I get drunk with drunk people I might get laid. Wow! That is revolutionary.

  20. leftystrat says:

    Years ago, while in a rock band, our motto was “Don’t drink and play – it only sounds better to YOU.”

    I can’t decide if this still holds (or not) with the young Euros gettin’ it on…

  21. Western Fidgetal says:

    If this was Digg, I’d Digg it just for namechecking Petrosian.

  22. pete says:

    sex is deferent from alcohol.sometimes you feel too tied to have sex after been drunk.or slept off after first round.i don’t drink but i love sex so much.thats why i go three to four round before day break.
