DANGEROUS CURVES


From THE WISE GEEK

Research shows that people tend to drink alcoholic beverages more quickly from a curved glass than a straight glass.

The research has shown that individuals who are drinking beer out of a straight glass sip it about 60% more slowly than people who are drinking out of a curved glass, leading researchers to believe that glass shape affects alcohol consumption. Researchers suggest that straight-sided glasses make it easier for drinkers to keep track of the amount of alcohol they drink, thus encouraging a slower pace.

The same researchers found that glass shape made no difference in the consumption of soft drinks.
