Now I can retire

On an interesting side note, I once saw a study that said something along the lines of "if you can choose 10 I.Q. points or 10 pounds of muscle, you should choose the 10 pounds of muscle" much for the same reason as the social drinking builds social capital.

If I’m male, solidly educated, and an accomplished social drinker, shouldn’t I be making enough money to be able to retire early? Did anyone tell the DoD about this study? I should be making 17-21% more than my non-drinking, female peers. I demand a raise – I can drink my face off!

Shhhh…..if woman find out about this study they’ll go out and demand some law that prohibits companies from holding social events at bars. Then if they find out the "guys went out drinking" they’ll start filing discimination lawsuits. It could happen. Just look at college sports. Nobody cares about women’s basketball or tennis, but you better be damn sure they get just as much money as the boys. Anyway, just keep this under wraps.
