How To Drink & NOT Get Drunk | Earth Lab
Timecodes:
welcome to Britt lab where we're going
to be giving you advice based mainly on
science about how to pace yourself on a
big night out on a night out is the
first drink that tastes the best and
disappears the quickest and it's the
first drink that's the one you've got
away because with all its good
intentions and high ambitions it's the
first drink that leads to the second
drink and the third and the fourth and
the fifth and before you know it you're
doing magnificent one-arm press ops on
the bar or if you're my identical twin
brother then you find yourself in the
grip of an uncontrollable urge to sing
country karaoke music and then dissolve
into sobbing you're really Johnny a
second ago what an imbecile alcohol is
one of the strongest drugs that's known
to man and I don't mean that lightly
I literally mean of all the things I can
prescribe or that you can buy
over-the-counter or that you can acquire
in any way at all alcohol has one of the
most powerful effects on every part of
your body not surprisingly the speed at
which you drink affects how drunk you
get so what can you do to slow yourself
down avoid getting completely cabbage
well for once the answer might actually
be found at the bottom of the glass or
more precisely at the top of the glass
because researchers at the University of
Bristol found that people who drink from
glasses with straight sides
drink up to 60% slower than people who
drink from glasses with curved sides why
don't I ever get to do research like
that now this may sound unlikely but
actually the explanation simple it's all
to do with your brain trying to judge
how much you've drunk it's harder to
estimate how much is in the glass when
the glass is curved and so it makes it
harder to judge how quickly your
drinking
the researchers tried this out by
running an experiment in three pubs over
the course of two weekends pubs made
almost 25% less money on the weekends
when they served beer or cider from
straight glasses compared to the
weekends when they serve them from
curved glasses research has found that
if there are markings on the glass
indicating how much is in it
then you drink much much slower and
you're likely to drink more when you're
standing up rather than sitting down
you're also likely to put yourself more
wine into a wide glass compared to a
narrow one less red wine than white wine
because the colour stands out more so
the next time you're out on a school
night you could consider asking for a
straight sided glass or you could take a
lesson from our French friends across
the channel and limit your booze intake
by drinking half pints santé one a bit
quicker than that
