<p>Didn’t read it thoroughly, but I really don’t think it’s fair to say that socially drinking increases earning potential. It certainly has the ability to create connections and the likes, but there is also the side where people in high-stress jobs are more or less driven to the bottle by stress and/or depression. I think it would be very hard if possible, to quantify how much is attributed to each factor in what ratios.</p>
<p>I wonder who sponsored this study. And how much of the “extra earnings” do those “social drinkers” spend on alcohol and drinking-related problems…</p>
<p>It’s good news for healthy social drinkers but I think that the issues with the 10% of the population who are addicts would be better off financially and otherwise, abstaining.</p>
