Can the music at high volume to drink more alcohol?

well this is the true of our many social parties because everyone in or around our gatherings peolpe used to go with huge consumtion of drinks firstly for the social happy cause and secondly for the cause that they are provided with free drinks[i/] and then the heavy music this is t he reality people drink so much taht they do not even stand on their feet

I've never liked places that blast me out of my seat with loud music. I guess this is why they do it!

I think it's true.
In the bar when the music is loud.
Talking to each other is hard. So
the only thing you can do is drink more
and more. They had a point. I think i agree
with it. If i will have a business someday
and i'm thinking of opening a bar. I will
always set the music loud so that my customers
can drink more alcohol, that means more earning.
Hehehe...just kidding.

haha..I just saw this on the news like 2 minutes ago.

If you're in a bar and the music is so loud that you can't carry on a conversation, you're probably going to drink more.

Plus, people tend to coordinate their movements with the beat of the music even if they're not dancing.

Interesting study...I can see bars across the country turning up the music...:)

I just find the study hard to believe. I was a bar maid many years ago in a bar that only had a juke box and the volume was never turned up. Yet there were the usual drinkers putting down their usual amount. The hard drinkers got on their usual Drunk. I don't think it's the music, if you have a drinking problem you're going to drink till you're drunk no matter whether the music is loud or not. I don't really think that most of the drunks really hear the music to begin with.

We love videoke bar. Not ones have I been or heard it at a low volume. In our neighborhood you'll now at once that there's an occasion because you could hear one. In these occasions it involve of course drinking particularly beer. So in that study I am not surprise, volume and drinking really work hand in hand.

I saw this on wellness360 the other day. I honestly don't know if I believe this or not. I guess it is a starting point. Hopefully they will keep investigating this.

I can tell you I did a scientific study myself and found that I tend to drink more when my Wife's nagging gets louder at home. I should probably go to one of those loud bars and have a nice quiet drink. Unfortunately my drink consumption will be based only on the money that's in my pocket and not the volume control of a juke box.

I heard an article about this very thing just the other day. It seems that the loud music releases some kind of reaction in the body which speeds things up a bit. This will then cause more drinking in a shorter period of time. Just what all the bar tenders want and the police fear to see.

I have my own theory. The reason that they are drinking more is because the music is too loud, so when the bartender or the girl with the drinks asks if you had enough, and you say, yes, they cannot hear you, so they refill your drink. Another theory is that the music is so horrible, and so loud, that the patrons are ordering extra beer to get into a stupor so that they can fall asleep dead drunk.
