On any given night in any given bar, at least one thing is certain: Drunk people will be horny. But to whom all that sexual energy will be directed toward isn’t always clear. Recently, scientists conducted a small study that suggested that heterosexual people became more curious about gay sex as they got drunker. Their study isn’t definitive, but it does ask us to reconsider the nature of drunken horniness.
To study this, the researchers went straight to the action, heading to a bar-filled neighborhood in an unnamed midwestern American town to recruit drinkers stumbling around outside between 10 p.m. and 1 a.m. In the paper they published in The Journal of Social Psychology in April, they describe the details of their “field study,” which involved first finding 83 participants and asking them how many drinks they’d had that night and their sexual orientation. Then, each recruit watched videos of attractive people hanging out alone at the bar, chatting with the bartender. After watching, each person was asked a series of questions about what they were willing to do, romantically and sexually, with the person in the video.
There was no guarantee, however, that the person in the video would match up with the participants’ stated gender preference.

Scientists Explain Why Drunk Heterosexuals Are Into Gay Hookups
One study tested how people’s “sexual willingness” toward same-sex and other-sex partners changed in relation to how many drinks they’d had.
