TIL (would have said less alcohol consumption was correlated with income and education) https://i.imgur.com/f2J1aM4.jpg

The guy split the data and concluded that with more income and education alcohol was a cultured tasteful thing vs a cope for less income and education.

My theory is that drinking (and hangovers) are time-consuming and expensive habits (both money and health). Indulgence requires time and money. Makes sense to me!

The "yes, I drink" does a lot of lifting. Would have been better if some qualifier of how often was included

These numbers are must likely not to be trusted for so many reasons. The only way I'd trust this type of stats is of it were made based on SSN/DLN joined with purchase history (bar, store) joined with education history. Nothing self reported. Also with a good and diverse sample size.

Could be, but let's not forget about this very real fallacy: https://twitter.com/mc10crypto/status/1608772068757377024?s=46&t=tGSUKNg39RCB6wb-xjqKig

If make the argument that lower income families (lower Ed) are less likely to admit to drinking vs. higher income (high Ed) will just say what they actually do because that’s what you do at that level.

This is a classic chapter in Emily Oster’s Expecting Better book which I bet a huge portion of parentcasters here have read :) The higher socioeconomic skew is the main confounding factor in estimating whether alcohol during pregnancy is bad.

And, even more intriguing, the trend is the inverse when it comes to cigarette smoking. (Sauce: https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/adult_data/cig_smoking/index.htm) https://i.imgur.com/VaXMmBj.png

It’s a funny myth really to assume that ‘low income will mean higher drinking’ - total stereotype. And narrative that ‘middle class’ drinking is acceptable vs … I have mid teen kids and the kids who already drinking a lot are private school kids whose parents think ‘was fine in our day’….

It’s a common misconception. Stats look the same in uk and here in NZ. Numbers also prob skewed because my gen (X) the worst drinkers so being older prob sit in the higher income level. Number might reduce as more genZ (who drink less) get into higher wage bracket.

How interesting! For certain types of consumption I guess it makes sense, thinking the glass of wine every evening type behavior.
