Drunk

Via Paul Kedrowsky, on the myth of the drinker's bonus:

We conclude that most likely the positive association between drinking and earnings is the result of the fact that ethanol is a normal commodity, the consumption of which increases with income, rather than an elixer that enhances productivity.

That's a relief. One of my New Year's resolutions was to see how long I can go without a tipple ... days? weeks? months? YEARS? Who knows.
