Wine-drinking women more fertile, study claims
Thu Sep 18, 7:03 AM ET

COPENHAGEN (AFP) - Women who drink moderate quantities of wine become pregnant more easily than their teetotal or beer-supping sisters, a Danish medical review reported.



How'd ya like to be the graduate student who ran this test? "Oh no dear, it's strictly in the interests of science... sure, tequila shots while wearing the nurse outfit..." :ph34r:

Quote

The least likely to become pregnant were those who drank no alcohol at all.



Well... duhhhh...

Quote

The research was carried out by a team headed by Mette Juhl of the state serology institute, Statens Serum Institut. They could not explain the reasons for their findings.



They just don't get out much, do they? :D First off, why does this need to be studied, and second, who didn't have it figured out already?

In Biblical times, if a woman was found in the act of fornication, she was stoned. Still holds true today. Lots of stoned women out there fornicating. ;)

Yeah, good one.

Then again it was a Danish study...

Reminds me of the fundamental reason why (Shakespeare's) Hamlet was depressed:

"You would be depressed if you became absolute ruler of a country which was only famous for Pine Furniture, Pornography, and Pork Products."

The study talks about fertility and the chance of getting pregnant, not about scoringpercentage or the chance of getting laid due to women consuming alcohol.

Second; given that (what is btw a remarkable result) who knew that wine works better than beer works better than nothing?

Ofcourse it's easy to ridiculize this study, damn it's about women and their fertility and sex and alcohol, it almost seems too easy aye? ;)
The text you pasted says that they didn't expect the results and they cannot explain them, well that's how new insights are found and new things are invented.

BTW: The Danish are cool, they have Carlsberg :P

It all has to do with the beer-goggle factor. People usually get pregnant when young. In college you drink beer and cheap booze, so you are used to it. Then you graduate, try to be an urbanite, go to a happy hour on friday, drink a few glasses of wine and....whooops, the whale from the office below looks so attractive.....;)

I sure would like to volunteer to help out in one of these studies. since I've had a vasectomy, I guess I'd be in one of the "control" groups. But I could take good notes on what the ladies drink (or not)...

Oh sure, try and interject some logic into this thread. If I ever make a serious point, you have misread what I typed. :)

That said, I believe that in almost all the cases of the women becoming pregnant, sex was involved. If the chances of women having sex are increased by drinking, there it is.

The most recognized case of non-sexual reproduction must have been a hard sell. "Hello sir, my name is Joseph... yes Mary told me the same thing... an angel... having a hard time with it myself sir..." :ph34r:

Danish studies rock.

I support spending tax dollars on studying fornication, even if there's no explanation for the results.

We do this nowadays since it's a long time since we could put our longboats out and go kill French people.

I just hope that *I* will participate more directly in these studies in the near future :ph34r:

The Brits did a study that appeared on tv about 2 years ago. It said that most men have a little "leakage" before the big event. It explained that the cervix "dips" into the pool of semen during orgasm. Therefore, the chance of pregnancy increases if women are having multiples.

The study went on to say that since 1 out of 4 women are having affairs (better sex, more orgasms), that statistically, one out of 8 women were having the child of their lover, not their spouse. It really sounded like parentage was pretty dicey to prove.

Using that study and the idea that drunk women tend to have more uninhibited fun (personal theory :ph34r:), the alchohol, orgasm, pregnancy relationship is certainly easier to establish.

Yep, I read about that study and at the time I started wondering how many fathers there are who unwittingly are raising kids that ain't their own.

Heh, there's an argument for remaining single B|

Actually, it has become a legal issue in the US. After a divorce, guys are using DNA tests to establish paternity. Unfortunately, even if the child does not belong to the man, he still has to pay child support. Kind of like being forced to pay a fine for a crime that DNA proves you didn't do.
