It may seem an uncouth way to spend the evening, but binge drinking could be an evolutionary tactic to woo women, say scientists.
Research suggests that heavy consumption of alcohol tells a potential mate that the binge drinker is 'healthy and strong'.
According to the authors of a study of American men published in the academic journal Evolutionary Psychology, heavy drinking among young adults delivers a 'sexual signal' that demonstrates their worth.

I think it’s more to do with liquid courage.
The proof in that pudding is the international sensation climate savant Greta Thunberg.
Having raised 5 daughters, my advice to my girls was the opposite. Stay away from the drunken idiots. NOTHING good will come from interaction with them.
Sound like a crock to me.
Women don’t want drunks, they want someone who can protect them, and a drunk isn’t it.

I love the new science.
Last week steaks were pronounced A-OK, this week we get the sign off on binge drinking.
Culture is a pendulum that swings back and forth...
About to suck to be Pajama Boy.
Whatever works!
lol
I think most here are equating this with drunken idiots.
I think that is missing the point a little. My interpretation is that the research suggests that this is more for affluent men, who can drink without becoming sloppy drunk.
The idea is that it shows control, wealth, and power. This is not about drunk kids partying.
...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.
Resemble that remark

There is a much simpler explanation:
Binge drinking removes inhibitions, leading to sex and procreation.
it is another test that men have to pass: prove that you are healthy and strong by being able to drink heavily and not have negative consequences
I wonder how many tax dollars were pissed away in this study grant. You would have to be drunk to believe this.
There, fixed.
The “scientists” were a bunch of drunk men.
“This sounds like one of those ideas so stupid only an intellectual would believe it.”
This thought is not far from wrong. A number of years ago the CDC determined that the biggest cause of unplanned pregnancies was beer.
I hate to tell them, but there are other reasons it happened and science should know them by now. Beer might have been in a few of the instances a small part of the process, but not the biggest cause. They need to bone up on animal husbandry. That might get them started in the right direction.

yeah. no.
“...binge drinking could be an evolutionary tactic to woo women...”
Geez, I try that approach every night and it hasn’t done a damn thing for me. So much for that theory.
