Mashable -Undergraduate men who often mention or post photos of alcohol have moreFacebook friends than those who don’t, according to a study that will soon be published in theAmerican Journal of Men’s Health.
Our hypothesis is that because alcohol in college students is a predictor of social acceptance, there could be a similar correlation in the social networking world with alcohol references[posting alcoholic references] might be a mechanism for peer acceptance, says Katie Egan, who led the research as an undergraduate at the University of Wisconsin in 2009.
Really though, who wastes money on these dumbshit studies?People who post more about drinking on Facebook have more friends? Ya think?! Wow, that’s new to me, captain obvious. No shit people who get hammered all the time have more Facebook friends. That’s the point. You get blackout and friend request everyone you met that night, even if you know you will never see them again. Why would you do that if you’re not drinking unless you were legitimately friends with the person. Who do you think is more popular, the joker sitting alone on a Thursday night studying, or the crazy dude who’s knocking back shots like its his job meeting new people at the 30 parties per week he goes to? Duh.
True story/ example of this phenomenon: One night T.C. got really drunk, logged onto my Facebook while I’ was taking a shit and friend requested randoms that Big Red went abroad with. Man, I looked like a damn creep-o. But some of them accepted. Hmm…
