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.
