Smart people drink a lot of alcohol

Are you by any chance lying in bed with a hangover? Well, isn't that nice. That means you're really smart. Yes, I'm not kidding. A study published by the British Medical Journal Open shows that smart people like to have an extra glass (or two, three). And just as a sort of off-topic, if you want to know what wine is good for, you should definitely read this.

 
But anyway, back to the reason why it is said that smart people drink a lot of alcohol. Scientists asked 6000 participants in England, and what turned out: everyone who scored high on tests at age eleven turned out to drink more alcohol later in life compared to those who did not have high scores. Another striking thing was that the ‘smart’ participants drank alcohol twice as often as they got older. They also had much less tendency to get completely wasted on a night out compared to the ‘less smart’ participants.

So in short: that pounding headache you have right now is just an indication that you're smart and don't worry: it's not like you'll be lying in bed with a hangover every weekend. ‘As you get older, you still enjoy a drink, but apparently you can keep it moderate.’ Okay, okay, well, you know what to do when someone tells you that your brain cells die when you enjoy an alcoholic treat. Just because you drink, you're really smart.

If you need more reading material to throw up: did you know that wine is also good for your figure? And uh, what sangria tonight won't hurt either. Cheers!
