Martinis taste like happy
Sunday, November 9th, 2008Reuters published a piece recently about a study suggesting that high IQ in childhood is linked with increased alcohol consumption as an adult, noting that this correlation was particularly strong among women.
The article suggests a handful of reasons for the gender divide, but I think it misses an obvious one–That a culture that values women who are compliant, dependent and unassertive drives exceptionally intelligent women to drink in order to deal with the inequality they face every day?
In any case, I think I need a cocktail.
