CNN this morning: Drinking alcohol makes you more successful.
 

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.

I could have told them that.:glugglug

Drinking never did a damn thing for me ;)

Mark, if this thread holds water, can you imagine Duncan's cellphone contacts?

I bet Bill Gates himself is on speed-dial!

It gets me more pussy

That's so fucking stupid I don't even know what to say...

I must not be drinking enough

People can thank Alcohol for success in the following areas....

1. Boning Loose women.
2. DUI.
3. 4AM Toilet Face plants.
4. Bar room Fights
5. Liver disease
6. Slurred speech
7. Serious regret about fucking a chick you thought was hot the night before.
8. For the ladies, same as above only it was a dude with a limp dick.

I'm sure there are some others.:pimp

Awesome and so true :1orglaugh

ive worked for some companies where you have to be in the "drinking club" to get a promotion...i hate that crap....

Home Simpson: "Here's to alcohol! The cause of, and solution to, all of lifes problems."

Same here. Hated it too. Plus I'm not sure how I made it home from the *ONE* time I went along just to be social.. I was hammered from 2 beers at 4 in the afternoon.

this guy looks successful

:thumbsup

God bless em

I like it when they are at least honest like that... The number of times people have asked for spare change for food, and I offer them a burger or hot dawg, sandwitch (depending on what is around) and they say... uh... no thanks is pretty funny :1orglaugh

Couple times, I've given people food though, I don't really mind if they actually are hungry.

I'm drinking but always in moderation here. Cheers to that nice article, Cory!

well thats good news :thumbsup

booze good

I would give him some cash, honesty goes along way with me. :thumbsup

Nice post.

I do think that Social drinking can help you. The opposite.... Drinking alone at home, can be very bad for you.

That's just what i think. Never heard about study about it before.

Posting this on GFY directly conflicts that theory.

alcohol beverage companies are paying CNN to make cheap propaganda and wash your heads, because they need to sell more beer, etc etc..

Sounds good to me :glugglug

also possible.:upsidedow

He's on field work. Wait till you see his office. :pimp

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

There must be something true about it, when i drink i'm usually more social then normal. I'm sure same thing happens to a lot of people.

Alcohol has also helped fat chicks get laid for decades.

fuck, i'm a borderline billionaire then at my consumption level

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Everything in moderation I guess

Whats your favorite bum wine?

Happy hour for drinkers' wages
New study reveals that those who enjoy a tipple now and then earn 10 to 14 percent more than teetotalers.

if you drink too much booze, you will get "coyote arm" ...

i agree, most non drinkers i have met are complete fucking terds....bunch of fucking losers

i dont need a study to tell me getting tanked it awesome, i love liqour, i love all kinds of liqour, i love getting tanked with fun people then waking up the next day and doing it some more.

just because some of you gfy pussies cannot hold your liqour do not take it out on the rest of us, drinking helped me be who i am today! drinking is my best friend! i am going to wal mart to get a 6 pack of the cheapest beer and i am going to sit in my hotel room with my shirt open, hands on my cock with a beer between my legs and watch sports.

God loves booze!

Alcool suck :321GFY

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :pimp

Cory was big pimpin!

wtf is this, an AA meeting?


Cheers, fuckers!http://www.gofuckyourself.com/images...2drinkspit.gif

They kinda of missed the point.

True: I have been offered more jobs (and accepted) while drinking then by applying with resumes, applications etc...

By far...there is no comparison.

But I think the reason is more simple. Drinkers are more laid back; friendlier and good at non-confrontational(useless) discussion; which makes them easy to get along with others at work.

Non drinkers tend to be judgemental, opinionated, uptight and "higher-than-thou". Not a great person to have around when expressing off-color humor in the office.

Non-drinkers will "rat" you out over bullshit. Linda Tripp probably never had a drink or had quit for 20 years.


Dinker: "A little fun won't hurt you...explore!"
Non_drinker: "Curiosity killed the cat"


Bottom-line: Many people don't trust others who don't do or admit to anything "bad".

Who do you want to promote into the office right next to your's?...
the guy who parties with you and you've seen him let negative shit slide at the bar and he kept his mouth shut about some chick you fucked.... or the prude who jots down every single bullshit incident and reports it to you.

Ha ha funny picture.Yep he is succesful bussines man.

I worked at a place like that. I was even in the drinking club for a while. Then one time I turned down my boss' invite to a party because I was tired and more or less got blacklisted after that.
