(LiveScience) - I found a surprising fact lying around the Internet which somehow speaks up to me. This weekend I was bar-hopping with my buddies and I was hoping to get a little hammered. Getting drunk once in a while isn’t bad at all. After all, I’m not the one in charge of the wheels.

Anyway, I found the study pretty amazing. It had something that connected bars with alcohol. What is it? Music. The research showed that music can hype up someone who is actually gulping on alcohol. Researchers said that there may be something about the music that stimulates those who are drinking. Moreover, loud music can speed them up. This depends on the cultural setting of course. But then, if someone who loves rock goes to a performance of a live rock band in a bar, of course, he would be enjoying it and drink more right? Just like what we did last weekend.

I haven’t even noticed that I had much more of what I usually drink alone. I could say that this study made a lot of sense. To simply put it, those who visit bars and do not want to get that hammered, they should be more aware of the loud music and moderate their drinking. For some reason, music has magic.
