Drink More, Earn More

September 29, 2006 by Glenn

A new study came out concluding that people who drink socially earn 10 to 14 percent more than teetotalers. According to Edward Stringham, co-author of the study, “Social drinking builds social capital.” Social capital — as in new contacts, networking, and closer relationships. With the end result being higher salaries.

Interestingly, men who drink earn 10 percent more than abstainers. But women who drink earn 14 percent more. Hmmmm.

[via Mutual Improvement, who unfortunately make arguments against the study. Booooo!]
