Anyone see the CNN story this morning about social drinkers?

Apparently a group is advocating that social drinkers stimulate the economy and are, by demographic, more successful people. It claims that people whom drink socially at business events, gatherings, engagements and happy hours are more likely to establish bonds and relationships. They are more likely to have a more expanded contact list.

I know in my early 20s, my drinking led to an expanded contact list of girls that I had no idea what they looked like and a disturbing the peace ticket at the University of Kansas; But I think they mean something different on the CNN deal.

The group is apparently actually proposing that anti-alcohol campaigns take this into account.

Not sure about that, but the first portion is reasonable. I recall a study several years back that claimed social drinkers were more successful because they it was more typical for people that could afford it, to purchase it.

Sorry, don't have a link, I heard it while I was packing.
