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.
"Social drinking builds social capital," said Edward Stringham, an economics professor at San Jose State University and co-author of the study with fellow researcher Bethany Peters.
"Social drinkers are out networking, building relationships, and adding contacts to their BlackBerries that result in bigger paychecks."
The authors acknowledged their study, funded by the Reason Foundation, a libertarian think tank, contradicted research released in 2000 by the Harvard School of Public Health.

Je pense l'avoir toujours su. Ce qui est certain par contre c'est que j'ai depuis longtemps mis en pratique ce qui n'était jusqu'alors qu'une intuition.

Il n'y a pas à sortir de là : les buveurs d'eau et de Cécémel sont des constructivistes liberticides et des ennemis du genre humains ;-)
