So it's not really the drinking aspect, it's specifically the socializing aspect. You could go to bars and drink only non alcoholic drinks and probably have the same effect, assuming you can still be sociable without alcohol.
- stevekinney 13y agoOh yea, it's totally the socialization aspect. There is a similar study (I don't have a link off-hand, but it was something covered at length in an Introduction to Sociology textbook I had years ago) that points out that people involved in their church communities enjoyed similar benefits to the drinkers. The key here is socialization. I suspect you don't earn anymore by getting ripped by yourself in the privacy of your home every night and subsequently showing up at work with a headache and a sour attitude every morning.
