Drinking, a good career move

A study concludes that drinking will increase your earnings. Brought to my attention by a faithful Le Monde de C-Ron reader.

People who consume alcohol earn significantly more at their jobs than non-drinkers, according to a US study that highlighted "social capital" gained from drinking.

The study published in the Journal of Labor Research Thursday concluded that drinkers earn 10 to 14 percent more than teetotalers, and that men who drink socially bring home an additional seven percent in pay.
