Budding alcholism or a brilliant path to more money?
We've not posted a reader guide in a long time, mostly because we've been drinking a lot lately. Why? Because we recently developed a theory that more drinking=more money. Lo and behold, research by some, I don't know, scientists or something, shows us to be right.
Oh, by we I mean me and by us... it's me again as well. It's creative license bolstered by an assload of yummy scotch.
Two economists argue in a study to be released today that social drinkers tend to have more charisma, a fatter Rolodex and more friends than those who abstain or drink alone. That garrulousness, they say, translates into higher income — 10% more for men and 14% more for women.
So, how many 'social' drinks does it translate into? Apparently, 35 per week. More than that and the pay increase disappears, mostly because it's offset by the inevitable trip to The Betty.
So, here's the McBlogger Guide to a Better Career
35 drinks per week. No, you probably can't handle it but you can work up to it. It's 5 drinks a night, every night. Why not start now?
Oh, and develop a taste for scotch. That's the real secret.

It's always happy hour somewhere. Cheers to Texas Democrats and a big youtube Fred Phelps Texas Toast to republicans.

Drinking a glass of wine right now. I think I'll pour me another one.
