A recent article in Reason magazine relates an interesting fact, people who drink socially make more money. The magazine concludes the reason for the discrepancy is simple, social drinkers are meeting new people, networking and building relationships. These relationships, in turn, result in more business connections and a larger paycheck.

The article cites a study that found, men who drink earn 10 percent more than their counterparts who abstain from alcohol, women earn 14 percent more. The study also demonstrated that men who drink in bars at least once a month earned 7 percent more than their counterparts who didn’t. Also of note, this trend was not mimicked by women, there was no difference between the paychecks of women who enviveda bar at least once a month and those who did not.

As we continue to escalate our efforts to push prohibition as a national agenda, perhaps we should step back and look at some of good things that result from alcohol use.
