Do people who drink more (alcohol) make more money?

  Author:  28071  Category:(Debate) Created:(4/17/2002 7:48:00 PM)

I guess recently a professor conducted a study on this, and found that people in his survey who drank more alcohol tended to make more money overall.

My first reaction was: Alcoholics make alot of money? We all know what connotation the word Alcoholic means (lazy, nebelous, incoherent, etc). Then after thinking about it, I bet most of those people surveyed were in Sales and had to wine and dine their clientel to make big money.

So, what do you think? Does alcohol bring success or does success bring alcohol?

Date: 4/17/2002 7:55:00 PM  From Authorid: 47699    I've seen enough poor souls lying in gutters to think that that could possibly have any validity.  
Date: 4/17/2002 7:59:00 PM  From Authorid: 45630    A proper researcher will tell you that when you are researching your hypothesis you should try to prove it wrong not try to prove it right like what your professor is doing. Figures and statistics can lie. Ask your prof who did he talk to, what were his questions, is there any type of person not interveiwed and most importantly where were his questions asked.

Date: 4/17/2002 8:10:00 PM  From Authorid: 24732    I guess when you're rich you can buy more booze than a poor person? One alcoholic we know said he didn't like his job anymore. So his wife told him to quit, then he quit and never got a job again. Now she works and he stays home and work on cars (not for $) But we never go over there anymore, because he was so drunk he was rolling around on the floor and passing out. I can't believe he isn't dead yet? He drinks so much more than anyone else, he's been drinking for years. So far he hasn't had any problems with is liver or anything else? Doesn't make sense?  
Date: 4/17/2002 8:32:00 PM  From Authorid: 10245    My dad made good money (over $60,00/year, he died 8 years ago) and was a functioning alcoholic for over 30 years before it caught up with him. My brother makes over $75,000/year and drinks like a fish... I'd say two points for this argument... and neither had/have anything to do with schmoozing clients, they were/are Journeyman Electricians... construction creates some highly paid people as well   
Date: 4/17/2002 8:47:00 PM  From Authorid: 48858    I'd like to make a lot of money drinking booze. Does that count?~*~Lievout~*~  
Date: 4/17/2002 8:51:00 PM  From Authorid: 10245    construction also "creates" a lot of alcoholics   
Date: 4/17/2002 9:02:00 PM  From Authorid: 45630    Also think of it this way. More money, more problems. More problems, more stress. More stress, more glug glug glug, catch my drift.  
Date: 4/17/2002 9:05:00 PM  From Authorid: 48525    Alcoholism knows no socio/economic barries. Any one can be an alcoholic, rich or poor, fat or thin, black, white or green for that matter. I also remember hearing that science found that alcoholism is hereditary and can be passed in the genetic code, so that would kinda shoot that theory down.~Roaryblue  
Date: 4/17/2002 9:05:00 PM  From Authorid: 10245    most of the heaviest drinkers I know are attorneys...   
Date: 4/17/2002 9:13:00 PM  From Authorid: 21867    ...they may not drink more...maybe just more expensive thats all...  
Date: 4/18/2002 9:54:00 AM  From Authorid: 26227    drinking sure doesnt bring sucess because if that was true Id have more money than I do now  
Date: 4/18/2002 10:21:00 AM  From Authorid: 12835    I don't believe it. That would be like survey rich people and asking if they were levi jeans and then saying that since most did, that wearing levi's brings about wealth!!!LOL  
Date: 4/18/2002 10:22:00 AM  From Authorid: 12835    Sorry, my spelling ^^^ is awful....  
Date: 7/13/2005 1:44:00 AM  From Authorid: 30647    my friend who recently started drinking got a raise
