Shared: The shape of your beer mug might help explain why you get drunk so fast

The shape of your beer mug might help explain why you get drunk so fast on Boing Boing:

In a recent study at the University of Bristol, young people drank beer faster when it was served to them in a curved, fluted glass. It’s a small study, but the researchers think it could be a first clue toward understanding why we sometimes get more drunk than we meant to do. Researchers found it was difficult for people to judge volume of liquid in a curved glass, which might mean it’s also harder to pace drinking. (Via Noah Gray)
