The shape of beer glasses influences
how quickly people drink, according to research from the University of Bristol.
As reported on db.com, the study found
that people drink more quickly out of curved glasses than straight ones. According
to the study, curvy glasses makes pacing yourself a greater challenge.
A group of 159 men and women were
filmed drinking soft drinks and beer as part of the study. While all of the
glasses contained around half a pint, some were straight while others were
distinctly curved. The study found no difference in the drinking time for soft
drinks, with people drinking from both straight and curved glasses finishing in
around seven minutes.
For the beer drinkers however, there
was a large difference between the two groups. While it took around seven
minutes for people drinking from a curved glass to imbibe their half pint, it
took four extra minutes for those drinking from a straight glass. "Drinking
time is slowed by almost 60% when an alcoholic beverage is presented in a
straight glass compared with a curved glass,” the report said.
Researchers believe curved
glasses make it harder to pace drinking as judging how much is in the glass
becomes more difficult due to its curvy shape. "They are unable to judge
how quickly they are drinking so can't pace themselves,” lead researcher Dr
Angela Attwood told the BBC.
