OMG ! Teens love funny videos of drunk people ! Thats bad.

If you have something so weird, strange or off-topic to post and think it doesn't belong in any other forum; you're probably right. Please put all your gormless, half-baked, inane, glaikit ideas in here. This might also be a place where we throw threads that appear elsewhere that don't belong ANYWHERE end up, instead of having to flush them. FORUM RULES STILL APPLY.

More from the no fun brigade :Teens who laugh at funny videos involving drinking, drink more - this is not good.
Ok, maybe its not good, but its seems a bit obvious that gags about drinking are funnier to drinkers - or have I missed something?
Maybe they should outlaw videos of silly behaviour altogether and then people would stop being silly ? (Like before there were any videos, duh.)

In all, the researchers looked at 70 of the most popular videos portraying drunken behavior, which were searched for under the terms “drunk,” “buzzed,” “hammered,” “tipsy,” and “trashed,” and had combined total of over 330 million views. Once they were coded and categorized, the researchers found 44 percent of them mentioned a specific brand of alcohol (most often liquor), 79 percent presented drunkenness in a humorous way, and that on average there were about 23 “likes” for every “dislike.” Moreover, out of the 86 percent of videos that showed intoxication, only seven percent referenced alcohol dependence.

While it’s unclear which videos were used for the study, a simple search on YouTube turns up a plethora of videos ranging from drunk pranks to breakfasts made entirely of alcohol to compilations of drunk people. It’s also unclear who was watching these videos, however, Primack’s previous research on YouTube demographics suggests they were mostly underage. If that’s the case, the team believes their new findings offer new insights into how they can educate underage viewers about the dangers of overdrinking.
Good luck to them. :beer3:
