People that drink one glass of wine have very low propensity to over indulge. The latter trait has all sorts of benefits including health and income. It is the adult marshmallow test.

I am currently somewhere in the proximity of 2-3 glasses of wine a week, it was even less in the summer. And there is no urge to consume more. But I definitely overindulge on HN or Reddit.

- jcampbell1 6y agoYou can correlate virtually anything that requires foregoing immediate gratification with health and income. People that use condoms consistently have better health and income than those that do not. The list is endless. It isn’t correlation vs causation, it is misattribution of a hidden variable.
