Scientists have told how alcohol affects the ability to become a father

The study involved 50 men aged 20-30 years. Some of them drank alcoholic cocktails, the other used a placebo (an empty drink), after which they showed photographs of young women in evening dresses. Volunteers were asked to evaluate the attractiveness of women and make up a psychological portrait, while their eyes were watched by a special system.

Scientists have found that drunk men looked at women's breasts and waists longer than on their faces. The difference was more noticeable if women were described by most volunteers as "attractive" and "insecure".

Scientists have revealed the connection between the mentality of the nation and alcoholism

At the same time, if a woman produced the impression of a "self-sufficient" and "spiritual" person, sober men devoted more time to studying facial features. Alcohol increased this difference - "drunken" volunteers almost did not consider the bodies of women who radiated confidence.

"A frank view of women leads to their dehumanization, which is the basis for many negative consequences, such as sexual violence and gender discrimination at work," said one of the authors of the work Abigaille Rimer, noting that such studies will help to combat such unpleasant manifestations.
