I have blue eyes too. I'm not very competitive, but I do have a low tolerance for pain. Hmmm, wonder if I should be worried?  |

Interesting. I have blue eyes, as does my husband, and of course both boys have them as well. Not sure about the alcoholism but I am competitive and have a low pain tolerance (I wanted to pre-order my epidurals, apparently they don't allow that  ). |

My husband has blue eyes, competitive and low tolerance for pain. But I thought men in general had a lower tolerance for pain, so I don't know if his is any different than other men.

Blue eyes, high tolerance for pain and only competitive with myself, never with others.

Did anyone open the link at the bottom of that page to see what your earwax says about you?

My entire family has blue eyes. Some are competive (guilty), some are so non-competive they did cartwheels during soccer games, at 8!!! I had an almost 9 pounder naturally so am pretty confident that my pain threshold is high and my daughter dances on her toes - often when they're bleeding and once without having an intact big toe nail - pretty sure her pain tolerance is high - come to think of it perhaps she is competive - just not about soccer! Is be interested to read the whole article and understand how strong a correlation they found. The one alcoholic I know has brown eyes, but that's a pretty small sample.

Blue eyed, competitive, and average pain tolerance. But then I don't drink alcohol so it's meaningless to me anyway.

My mother has blue eyes and was extremely competitive growing up. She doesn't drink at all.

I have blue eyes and I am extremely competitive. I have a pretty normal pain tolerance and don't have a problem with drinking.

Blue eyes. Not very competitive and have a high pain tolerance. This would be me as well. All me too. Also, the last time I had a drink was at a toast at my wedding in 1995. My dad was an alcoholic (brown eyes) and I just don't want to tempt fate. Besides, if I take a drink, I take a nap. |

I'm 5 foot two , eyes of blue. ... And I am quite sure there's a song about that. Irish and in college could drink a seven foot swede under the table!
But now I only have a couple of drinks every so often. It is too expensive to buy alcohol here

Blue-eyed highly competitive chick with one hell of a pain threshhold according to my ob/gyn.  ETA: a normal drinker too. Not an alcoholic but not a teetotaler. |

My father was blue eyed. Not competitive at all that I know of, I would say a low threshold for pain and I never saw him drink a drop.
My husband is blue-eyed. I'd say competitive, very high threshold of pain and he's not scared of a drink, but not an alcoholic.

I have one blue eye and one eye that's 1/4 blue and 3/4 hazel but come from a long line of blue eyed alcoholic over achievers with low pain tolerance. (3 generations of alcoholics that I can currently attest to.) I am not a drinker myself because of this genetic trait, so I am not one bit surprised by this study!

Ohh, maybe I should start drinking alcohol?  My eyes are hazelish/brownish. The part about lower pain tolerance made me laugh. My daughter can be very dramatic and my son bites himself all the time! |
