Energy Drink Sale Ups the Risk of College Sex

February 28, 2016 By Melissa Gansler Leave a Comment

"Energy drinks"

A Vermont College student claims energy drink sale ups the risk of college sex.

(Mirror Daily, United States) – It seems that energy drink sales up the risk of college sex, so they will be banned on the campus of the Middlebury College in Vermont.

Myles Kamisher-Koch, a Middlebury College student prefers to be wings free when it comes to caffeinated drinks. The student is also interning at the Dining Services of the college so he is familiar with all of the drinks that the educational facility is selling to its students.

Surprisingly enough, the banning initiative belonged to Kamisher-Koch and not the college’s board. The self-righteous student argued at an administrators meeting that energy drinks like 5-Hour and Red Bull are a high-risk factor among students.

The Dining Services intern is convinced that the consumption of energy beverages affects the academic habits of the students. He also argued that whenever such drinks are involved, the students partake in high-risk behavior and unsafe sexual practices.

But Kamisher-Koch is not alone in his battle. The Dining Services’ executive director, Dan Detora, agrees with the wings free student saying that energy drinks pose a serious danger to the students’ health. The statement was made while the college’s cafeteria was still serving oily, greasy fast-food.

There were additional college officials that supported the ban on energy drinks because they considered them to be unhealthy and promoters of alcohol abuse and unsafe sexual activity. The administration is backed up by at least two students.

But what the college’s officials are overlooking is the fact that there is a very big difference between causation and correlation.

Energy drinks might be the cause of high blood pressure or the onset of early diabetes seen as they contain ridiculous amounts of caffeine and sugar. But they surely don’t feature a secret, unmarked ingredient that wipes the morality and sense of preservation from the students’ brains.

It’s just a matter of correlation. Those who prefer to drink energy beverages are those prone to risky behavior. It’s a matter of taste.

You’ll never see a frat boy pairing vodka with tea as you will not have the chance of seeing someone gulp down a whole bottle of Red Bull before reading a book or going to a movie.

Some drinks are preferred by a certain kind of people while others simply aren’t.

The good news is that the consumption of energy drinks will not be forbidden on campus, only the sale. So Kamisher-Koch may have won the battle, but he lost the war, because if he paid more attention in class, rather than on the tab of his fellow students, he would have been aware of the fact that restricting access to an object only makes it look more desirable.

Hot Photos on Dating Sites Do Not Make Users More Attractive

Hot Photos on Dating Sites Do Not Make Users More Attractive

A recent behavioral study conducted by researchers at the University of Connecticut shows that adding hot photos on dating sites do not make users more attractive to the opposite sex.

While studying humans’ behavior on the Internet in general and on dating sites in particular a team of researchers from the University of Connecticut has made important discoveries.

According to the recent data they have gathered, much to our dismay, Photoshop-enhanced photos do not make users more attractive to the opposite sex.

The study was carried out with the help of 305 participants with the age between 17 and 36 years old. Each and every other participant had to view four different profiles on various dating sites for several minutes.

At the end of the attributed time interval, participants were asked to rate the four profiles in terms of attractiveness, trust and similarity.

The majority of the contributors have appreciated the profiles that looked natural, without enhanced profile pics or amplified information.

When asked to describe the profiles containing retouched pics, respondents have rated them as unreliable.

Further investigation into the matter has revealed that men have the tendency not to trust women who add hot photos and, consequently they avoid asking them out for a date.

Nevertheless, guys are willing to take a chance, even though they know women will not be as beautiful in person as they appear to be on the Internet profile.

Participants belonging to the feminine gender, on the other hand, have been positively impressed by males’ enhanced dating profiles.

They gave higher grades to these profiles because they automatically inferred, as they skimmed through the photos, that those men are generally preoccupied with their image.

The recent findings come to contradict many of the past beliefs that humanity has held valid so far.

Until recently, it was believed that males are more inclined to judge “a book by its covers”, consequently, to start relationships only with those women who look appealing.

Researchers at the University of Connecticut claim things have changes; women appear to be the ones, who choose their partners based on their looks.

Scientists have further added that attractiveness was the only aspect influencing women to pursue dates on the studied profiles.

The study was meant to provide people with additional information related to the cat-fishing phenomenon and to help prevent similar activities.

The research and its results will be presented during this year’s International Communication Association conference.
