New Zealand Scientists!
There was an article in the March 4th New York Times Science section about a variety of studies on human behavior related to drinking in excess (also known as "drinking" to you and I). Most of it was sort of bland, just talking about how different cultures have different ways of outwardly displaying drunkenness and so forth.
But what caught my eye was that a group of scientists in New Zealand "conducted extensive interviews with teenage girls who associate drinking with uninhibited behavior..."
So basically they got paid to do what I try to do every goddamned weekend. Well, not strictly teenage girls. Just girls and ladies of all ages. So what I'm getting around to endorsing is the notion of science that can be practiced at 3am in some shitty bar, by someone no more educated in the ways of quarks and electrons than I am. And it's the kind of science that can end up with two people making some awesomely poor decisions.
NOW THATS SCIENCE.
