Yeah, UB my thoughts exactly.

The people who are out making money just so happen to more often be in the atmosphere of alcohol consumption. As a matter of fact, I'd be willing to bet that if you compared people of the same careers, that the non-drinkers would out-earn the drinkers. Unfortuneately this study has taken the entire job-market as a whole, lumped the $40k school teachers (who don't drink) with the $125k investment bankers (who drink like fishes) and made the assumption that drinking alcohol makes you earn more.

Edit: Maybe this is how they did it. I always want to see the numbers and their methods when people release a story, but alas we never get them.

	The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them. Last edited by DJ FC; 10-01-2006 at 10:22 PM.
