The More We Earn, The More Often We Drink

March 9, 2016 Leave a Comment

Not only moderate alcohol use can have important health benefits, but drinkers earn over 10 percent more money at their jobs than nondrinkers. A new survey shows that people that earns more tend to drink more often, perhaps to build relationship and contacts that result in bigger paychecks. In U.S. about 78% of those with an annual household income of $75,000 or more say they drink, compared to 45% of those with a household income of less than $30,000. Similarly, according to the U.K.’s Office for National Statistics, almost a quarter of Britons who earn over $57,000 are likely to drink at least five days a week, compare to 8% of whose who earn less than $14,200. In general, you are likely to have a drink in the past 24 hours if your household income top $75,000. Silvia Ascarelli writes: “In the U.S., richer drinkers also prefer wine over beer, but just barely. Beer is most popular with those earning between $30,000 and $74,999, according to Gallup. Wine is the preferred drink among college graduates, while those who have a high-school diploma or less prefer beer.” (marketwatch.com)
