Teetotalers may think twice when they hear this news: Drinkers earn 10 percent to 14 percent more at their jobs than nondrinkers, economists Bethany Peters and Edward Stringham found.
"As long as you're not drinking into excess, then it's a good thing," said Stringham, an associate professor of economics at San Jose State University.

Interesting. I never knew.

Along the same lines I met a lady in sales at a steel company and she was taking up golf and playing to network.

Hey, life is all about moderation and balance. My daily beer is designed to negate the effects of my daily cup of coffee. If I get paid a bit more in the process...works for me! :)
