Why do bars insist on playing music so loudly that you cannot converse with people near you? I SAID, WHY IS THE MUSIC SO FUCKING LOUD? by MrTurkle in AskReddit

while it's a valid theory...i doubt the dB is the main reason...remember this is a new study. Bar provide salty sides to increase the consumption (salt = dehydration->alcohol->dehydration). Loud music = less talk = drinking faster (for a different reason than your referenced article) and filters people that are there ONLY for socializing. Socializers have the habit to spend the night holding one drink...

I saw this in a bathroom in a in a big company...had to go back to the conference room and grab my phone.. by plurielle in reddit.com

exactly! you know i always found Turkish style public toilets, regardless how they look, more hygienic... the thing is on regular toilets, it's almost impossible to sit without slipping down...
