Now That's What I'm Talking About

Here are some interesting drinking stats from this month's Atlantic Monthly

1. "American males who drank heavily when they tenth-graders in 1990 earned more money in 2000 , on average, than their peers who were teetotaler as teens." This was not true for women.

2. "Self-described drinkers (male and female) earn 10 percent to 14 percent more than non-drinkers."

3. "Men who frequent bars at least once a month earn a further 7 percent wage boost."
