BBC NEWS | Europeans get drunk 'to have sex'

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.

Now this is research grants being put to good use. Who would have ever thought that people go out drinking with hopes of getting some action? What makes this "scientific" and not just a drunk night out for the researcher is the eureaka! revelation that, "...many young people were 'strategically' binge drinking or abusing drugs to improve their sex lives." Aha, it's all about the strategy.
