Who Drinks the Most Alcohol? #7

7. College graduates are nearly twice as likely to drink as are people who didn't finish high school.

Rates of alcohol use increase with levels of education, as 68.4 percent of college graduates and 35 percent of adults who didn't finish high school describe themselves as "current drinkers." Other studies consistently show higher drinking rates among the college-educated, for whom "drinking good wine and cocktails is a social thing," Ehrmann says, "and it's part of the business meetings and social networking that their careers often depend on." Brownell adds that many people learn to drink at college, where campus life "definitely promotes a culture of 'drink and be wild.'"
