As Cactus Ed said, a drink a day keeps the shrink away. And the doctor. And also the collection agent, apparently.
The data show that average income rises with alcohol consumption up to a point and then falls off as one moves into the range of heavy drinking. Income peaks at 2.6 drinks per day for men and 1.5 per women.
This also comes as no surprise:
In 2008, 89% of people who drank two drinks per day or less reported giving charitably. Compare this with 84% of teetotalers

Or as Tom Waites used to say: I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than an frontal lobotomy!
