Research suggests that heavy consumption of alcohol tells a potential mate that the binge drinker is 'healthy and strong'.

Well, if “scientists” say “might be” or “could be,” then clearly it’s 100% true and anyone who disagrees is a “science denier.”

Without evidence, only experience, I sincerely doubt the study.

Oh my, so what I did with a tall glass full of Jack Daniels straight when I was 17 years old at a house party must have been a good idea then, lol.

Many men who binge drink have been cut in half by a nutso woman and are attempting to self-medicate. Been there, done that quite a few times.

I know the ability to drink to blackout every weekend is the first thing I look for in a man.

Agreed.

But I do know damaged women who were attracted to the “bad boy” and heavy drinking at bars and clubs was part of that ‘image” to them.

I never met a woman that enjoyed a guy who was binge drinking drunk. I have met a few young ladies after they were binge drinking. I had hair, a car, and a full time job. I seemed irresistible at the time.

This works great if a macho heavy drinking male wants to attract an alcoholic female.

This sounds like one of those rare examples of where Darwin's theory of natural selection actually works.

Drunks competing among themselves for drinking mates with the best genes.

So that was Ozzie Osbourn’s secret.

He has some kind of genetic defect that allows him to drink so much. I can’t remember if it also allows it not to effect his liver.
