Music Volume Affects to Drinking
The following research might be the answer why music in discotheque or bar is put on very high volume. The reason is that it can affect to the alcohol consumption. This research was done from two bars in Paris. This observation was done by the researcher from Southern Brittany University towards 40men from the age between 18 – 25 years old from that bar visitors.
As quoted from Reutershealth, researchers working together with the bar owner to control their music volumes. Visitors didn’t know that they were being observed.The result was when music is loud; a person can drink alcohol three minutes faster than when the music is slow.
This research was done on a small scale. However according to the researchers, answers that are make sense in this phenomena is, when music in the bar is too loud, then automatically visitors are having trouble to communicate with other visitors. This thing causes them to drink more and less talking.
