"According to a new study typical gamers are more likely to be (via Kotaku) virulent "drunk self-haters". This means gamers will drink alcohol or use drugs more often than others. The same study also unveils that gaming weakens relationships and that gamers are suffering from self-esteem problems." http://www.sk-gaming.com/content/21718-Study_Gamers_to_be_drunk_selfhaters | ||

"The most striking part is that everything we found clustered around video game use is negative," said Prof Laura Walker, from Brigham Young University, in Utah, who led the study." - lol What is this 'getting a high score' business. Most people are playing vs others online, there is no 'high score'. Obviously a noob "Research into the habits of more than 800 university students found that most of the men asked, 55 per cent, were regular players, using their games console at least every other day. By contrast, only around 7 per cent of women admitted that they played computer games that often. " Wasn't there also other studies that said there were more female gamers than men? (obviously not in Utah) PS- Title of the articles says 'computer games' while the content talks about consoles. Big difference too imo | ||

Most my friends who don't play poker or games are getting a 12 pack every day after work. Games are actually my anti drug, if there were no games I would have to fill that time up with something else. Not only that but I would probably commit more crimes without games. And the hugest factor IMO is that YOU CAN NOT PLAY YOUR TOP GAME under the influence of something. | ||

That could easily be right as well. Regardless, she should probably stop doing what she does. | ||

What is interesting is that the university is owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that demand their students to follow a honor code system, which will later mandate behavior with Mormon teachings. On the other hand the system used by the students refuses them to use drugs, alcohol, tea, coffee or extra-marital sex. I think there's the reason for their being self hating drunks. | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01245/gamers_beer_1245542c.jpg) Does that look like a negative atmosphere? Would they prefer people going to a pub and driving home drunk or whatever? | ||
