Study finds sex and alcohol makes you happier than family and religion

A new study has come out with some very surprising results (insert sarcasm here). Sex and Alcohol rate way higher, in terms of things that make people happy, than kids and religion. The startling results of the study (still have not abandoned the sarcasm) are the brainchild of Carsten Grimm from the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, who fashioned the study.

Researchers used text messages to build up a map of what activities people ranked as bringing them the most happiness. The categories for determining happy activities were pleasure, meaning and engagement.

Sex topped all three categories.

Drinking alcohol and various other forms of prtying came in second on the pleasure scale but only tenth on the meaning scale according to DNA.

Also ranking noticeably low on the happiness scale were using Facebook and doing housework.
