According to a recent study, people who love bitter food and beverages, such as dark chocolate, coffee, and tonic water, tend to have evil personality traits or psychopaths.

a psychologist from Austria Innsbruck University conducted two experiments with a total of 953 people. They were given a list of sugary, sour, salty, and bitter foods and drinks, which they had to raise on a scale of one to six. then, they have to answer personality questionnaires assessing Machiavellianism, psychopathy, narcissism, everyday sadism, aggression of nature, and five great personality factors, citing the Menshealth.com page, Wednesday (3/1/2018).
some statement participants must agree or disagree with including "When making fun of someone, it's funny if they realize what I'm doing," "I enjoy torturing people," and "Sometimes I repeat my favorite scene from bloody, from a whore movie . "
"The data provide new insight into the relationship between personality and eating and drinking behavior, by consistently showing a strong relationship between increased bitter food enjoyment and increased sadistic tendencies," the study authors wrote.
this is not the first type of research that suggests people who enjoy certain things have a psychopathic tendency. back in September, a survey found that those who liked rap songs like Eminem's "Lose Yourself" and Blackstreet's "No Diggity" also had this trait.
But keep in mind, there is no concrete reason given why there is a correlation between types of drinks with psychopaths. but it never hurts to keep an eye on the people around you at the bar while drinking and chatting about their favorite Eminem songs.
