So gals, imagine it's the weekend and you're primping to go out to the clubs and, maybe, meet a really cute guy ... or at least get a good buzz on.

A study of college co-eds in Psychology of Addictive Behaviors found women 18 to 25 believe men view excessive drinking as a sexy trait, but they're wrong. Seventy-one percent of women overestimated how many cocktails men would like them to drink on any given occasion, according to the study, reported on in today's Sun-Times.

"Guys don't want girls who drink a lot," said lead author Joseph LaBrie, of Loyola Marymount University.
