I had to reply again, the last line of this article cought my attention... "Perhaps women increase social capital apart from drinking in bars," the researchers said in an effort to explain the gender gap.

gold digger
n. Informa. A woman who seeks money and expensive gifts from men.

Men can be gold diggers too.

So let's all get drunk and get rich!

This study seems to draw a lot of conclusions based only on a correlation.

Perhaps people who drive themselves hard all day and earn more money that way are more likely to have a couple of drinks in the evening. In that model monetary success and drinking are related by a common factor, but one does not neccesarily cause the other.

Perhaps the people who earn more money are more likely to spend their time at lunch or dinner meetings where drinking is heavily engaged in and encouraged. In that model, success causes drinking, not vice versa.

The fact of the matter is that none of these conclusions can be drawn from the mere fact that people who drink socially earn more money.

its like a "what came first, the chicken or the egg?" kind of thing. does drinking make you rich, or does being rich make you drink?? haha
