Smart Women Drink More

So, you thought finding a girl you could both party hard with at night and have deep, intelligent and interesting conversation during the day was impossible? Maybe not. Turns out it is the smartest ladies that bang the glass on the bar more often than their sober but less gifted counterparts. In a world of dove-brained bimbos watching out for their calorie intake, a shot-gulping book worm with a hot body sounds pretty awesome to me – by assuming Times is right on the money with their “Women are getting hotter” evolution piece. My money is on them; there is something in the water kids are drinking today, because younger generations of women are getting the best gene pools I have seen in years.

Back to women and their drinking patterns. Perhaps there is a strong co-relation between women and their brain power – after all, college is known to be one heck of a Bacchanal. And for most people, in general, it is. If college were to blame for smart women’s drinking habits, then no wonder successful ladies enjoy their fair share of liquor when mature. I don’t think I have ever dated a woman with a home bar better stocked than when that of this lawyer from New York I dated for a while. Great set of legs; even better choice of drinks.

Experts believe then that this drinking trend, though potentially worrying, can be a way to determine someone’s alcoholic tendencies and perhaps even prevent them. Funny how your grades cannot only say “Grade A Student” but also “Potential Drunk In The Makings”. Allegedly, a high IQ and good grades make your little girl, niece or special friend’s daughter a potential beer chugger. I bet your dad never thought your sister’s grades would eventually turn into the Margarita Night craze she is living these days. I guess you can’t have it all. Being positive, girls don’t have to worry about taking generic Viagra for drunken flops.

As for guys, this trend also seems to apply, but to a lesser extent than women. Experts say both boys and girls who achieved high test scores at ages 5 through 10 are significantly more likely to abuse drinking than those who didn’t do so good. Some of the reasons experts point out about this phenomenon include women with better education having middle and upper-class lifestyles, larger exposure to alcohol intake activities and being part of male-dominated fields in which drinking is expected. Also, higher-traffic social lives, greater involvement in so-called male spheres and overall greater acceptability of alcohol intake are marked as characteristics for these ladies.
