Research has found that men NEED nights out with the lads

We've been saying this for years.

Men like to go on the beer with other men, that's not news, but now scientists have proved that every man NEEDS a good night out with his friends. Researchers in Germany have found that hanging out with a bunch of lads lowers a man's stress levels compared to a night out with a partner or with the family. So, that's a legitimate reason to hang out with the boys. According to The Telegraph, the research at the University of Gottingen was carried out on a type of ape which exhibits remarkably human-like social behaviour. The ape's anxiety levels soared when they were with their partner or family members, but they were much more relaxed when they were in a group of males. That's enough for us, we are 100% on board with the findings here. Next time you want to go out with the lads are feeling stressed, show this article to your other half.
