How to drink less alcohol

Easy, Just change the shape of the glass and apparently you’re likely to consume less alcohol.

But this work only if you’re British.

This all comes from a stupendous study out of the august University of Bristol, in England, in which the researchers asked one hundred sixty social drinkers in England to drink beer and lager from either curved glasses or straight glasses, and lo and behold, the drinkers consumed much more alcohol from the curved glasses, leading the researchers to speculate that it was hard to figure out how much alcohol they had consumed when the glass is curved.

And people wonder about why the UK produces so few Nobel Prize winners.


Hey, if they were just to change the shape of the glasses they use in their pubs, and presto, lads, there’d be a Nobel winner in every bar.
