..that i'm going to take exception to. 

i'd say 80% of the population is moderate enough to make their parties not political at all.  but the 10% that are conservative are nags telling me everything that is fun is wrong.  the 10% that are liberals are all druggy hippies.   ...i'd rather smoke pot than get a condensenting lecture.

You can take issue... but it's extremely well documented in the social sciences....

which as the first article mentioned, are extremely liberal biased.  So it's not like they'd want to like about it.

Gives a good example of a number of studies with multiple possible reasons for why this is.   They tend to present enough varied reasons so that anyone from any party can come up with a justification they like.

 

I'm sure i can dig up plenty of other studies if need be.  It's really just about as uncontroversial a position as you'll find in the social sciences.

i'm taking expection to the "..so likely throw better parties." bit.

Ah, fair enough.  Me, I think parties would tend to be better where people are happier and in a good mood.  Less chances to get those "

Less chances for an angry drunk to start a fight... and other even uglier moments.

Nothing kills a party more then two groups about to fight because some girl drank to much and there's allegations about what somebody else did etc.
