The study, done by Dr. Leon A. Greenberg, professor of physiology at Yale University, proves that beer can’t get you drunk. According to his research, the amount of beer needed to get you drunk is more than your stomach can hold. Also, the rate at which beer is eliminated in the body is faster than that people can consume.

We should probably mention that this study was done in 1955. But even then, scientists objected, claiming that beer does get one drunk. They accused Dr. Greenberg of not being able to recognize the stages of drunkenness. They also mentioned that alcohol affects different people differently, and that being drunk means something different to everyone.

No matter what the research suggests, there are obviously some loopholes. Dr. Greenberg clearly didn’t consider games like beer pong/beirut, flip cup, kings or funneling. He also forgot that people mix their drinks, ultimately consuming more than just beer – and lots of it – very quickly.

It seems people don’t stick to just beer anymore. Therefore, getting drunk is inevitable – and welcomed.
