ravishingravi Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 More likely to tipple in the future? Photo: Corbis Don't worry, all that excessive drinking is just a sign of your intelligence. According to two long-term studies one American, one British there's a correlation between smarts and a thirst for alcohol. The "more intelligent children in both studies grew up to drink alcohol more frequently and in greater quantities than less intelligent children," says Liz Day at Discover. Why might this be the case? It's all about evolution: Drinking alcohol was "unintentional, accidental, and haphazard until about 10,000 years ago," says Satoshi Kanazawaat at Psychology Today. Smart people are generally early adopters and, in the context of human history, "the substance [alcohol] and the method of consumption are both evolutionarily novel." "Why intelligent people drink more alcohol" Alcohol makes up for boring early years: "I'm surprised" by the findings, says Joanne Hinkel at The Frisky, so "hereÃÔ my pop-psychology theory" to explain it: "All that studying in childhood repressed kids so much that theyÃÓe still trying to compensate well into adulthood for all that fun they missed." Granted, that's just a theory. "Brain types booze more are you surprised?" Drinking is the only way to deal with morons: Smart people "booze so we can tolerate everyone else," says Greg at Food & Wine Blog. When sober, we tend to "take peopleÃÔ responses at literal face value." But after a few drinks, "we can relax a bit, stop being so **** with semantics and let comments slide a bit." "Speculative reasons why smart people drink more" http://feed.theweek.com/article/index/208561/why-do-smart-kids-grow-up -to-be-heavier-drinkers I knew it !!
surajmal Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 who sponsored these studies? That should confirm the validity of these results.
Stuge Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 who sponsored these studies? That should confirm the validity of these results. Budweiser , Carlsberg,Moa etc companies secretly support these absurd studies to keep their sales up,.
achilles Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 This is the kind of stuff Americans do research on! No wonder only 20% of the people can point their country on the globe and 30% know that the sun is a star.
f.b.m Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 Maybe smarter kids can afford more alcohol when they grow up. Is this study adjusted for income?

They bomb a country and then tell people where it is located on the map.

Texy Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 they have done similar research in the 70s linking rise in use of amphetamines amongst men w/ high IQ score ....validity of these research projects could be debatable
