Researcher finds link between alcohol intake and wealth

A university professor has found on average the more people drink, the more they earn.

Professor Chris Auld says his research confirms the so-called alcohol-income puzzle.

His research shows people found to drink more than average are also more likely to be successful and earn more.

The economics don at the University of Calgary in Canada has just been given more funding to research the alcohol link to earnings.

He says reasons behind the correlation could be stress of a high-paying job driving people to drink or that more sociable people are more likely to achieve career success.

The findings should not be construed as an excuse to drink your way up the ladder, adds Prof Auld.

"The puzzle is why are we finding this," he told the Calgary Sun.

He jokes his extra funding will allow him to "buy more rounds at the bar".

Yeah, this is a pile of crap.  Doesn\'t work for me.  I drank far more when I made little money.

Isn\'t it the other way around?  The more you earn, the more you can afford, so the more you drink?

Which is fairly obvious anyway, and it needs a prof to point it out!!!

Heres another: apparently, the more money you earn, the more you spend on nice clothes :eek:
