TORONTO, Aug. 15 (UPI) -- Canadian women say there are some days they cannot survive without chocolate, while men say the same thing about sex, a survey found.

A poll of 1,536 Canadian adults, by Leger Marketing for Aero, asked what they would be least willing to give up -- sex, chocolate or alcohol.

Sex was almost five times more important to men than chocolate, and four times more important than alcohol, while women found chocolate and sex equally important at 40 percent each. One in five women wouldn't like to give up alcohol.

Fifty-four percent of Canadian women surveyed said bathing-suit shopping is their least favorite thing to do and 32 percent of the men didn't like bathing suit shopping either.

Forty-nine percent of the men said they think they are born multitaskers, but 68 percent of women disagree that men can do several things at once. Eighty-five percent of the women thought they were born multitaskers and 61 percent of the men agreed.

The survey had a margin of error of plus/minus 2.5 percent age points.
