In a study that justifies my entire way of life, researchers have found that sex and alcohol make people happier than kids and religion.

According to the study, which was done by Carsten Grimm from the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, people rate sex as the activity that brings them the most happiness. And, why wouldn't it...unless, of course, you're doing it wrong.

Second on the happiness scale was drinking, followed closely by volunteering. Religion and Caring for Kids were #4 and #5, respectively.

Here's the complete list:

  1. Sex
  2. Drinking Alcohol
  3. Volunteering
  4. Meditating/Religion
  5. Caring for Kids
  6. Listening to Music
  7. Socializing
  8. Hobbies
  9. Shopping
  10. Gaming

The study also discovered the activities that ranked lowest on the happiness scale:

  1. Recovering from Sickness
  2. Facebook
  3. Housework
  4. Studying
  5. Texting
  6. Going to School
  7. Working
  8. Commuting
  9. Computer Work
  10. Washing
