Are you tired of people at work telling you that you drink too much at happy hours and that you're ruining your life? Screw em. You'll end up with more in the bank.
Researchers at San Jose State University have discovered that social drinkers become better at networking and are more apt to receive promotions and raises due to their unique "skills."
"Social drinking builds social capital," said Edward Stringham, an economics professor at San Jose State University and co-author of the study with fellow researcher Bethany Peters.
"Social drinkers are out networking, building relationships, and adding contacts to their BlackBerries that result in bigger paychecks."
While it's easy to prove that in a group of friends, the ones that drink are most likely to talk to new people (chicks - ed.), for a long time everyone assumed their worth was less because of all the money they spend on booze. Now we drunkards can officially respond to questions of why we're drunk with a proper answer; we're trying to network... into some chick's pants.
