According to OKCupid - people who answer yes to "Would you have sex on the first date?" also answer yes to "Do you like the taste of beer?" a lot more frequently than people who don't like the taste of beer.

As to the reason...your guess is as good as mine.

Beer is an acquired taste to an extent, maybe the people who go out and party a lot are the ones that like the taste of beer more, and the ones that go out and party a lot also tend to be the more wild and crazy type of people? I dunno. Point is, if she likes the taste of beer, she's about 2-3 times more likely to sleep with you on the first date than someone who doesn't like the taste of beer.

Yeah there's about a million explanations. Here are a few that pop into my head.

1) Beer is an acquired taste that takes an open mind to get used to because most people don't like it at first. Open-minded people are more likely to have casual sex.
2) Beer is generally drunk more than men than women. Some women who drink it learnt to drink it to fit in with men, whether their male friends or their dad. They seek more validation from men than other women and so have casual sex more often. (This one's a bit un-PC)
3) Beer is drunk in bars. Women who go to bars are more likely to drink beer than those who don't. Women who go to bars are more likely to have casual sex than those who don't.
4) People who don't drink alcohol are less likely to have casual sex than those who do. It's not about beer, it's just about whether they drink alcohol. (This one assumes that women who drink other alcoholic drinks are just as likely to have sex, or have it less because of the other reasons)
5) Women who drink beer get beer bellies and then have sex with lots of men to try and feel good about themselves.

Kidding about the last one . Sort of...
