A study carried out at the London School
of Economics in which researchers have found that smart women tend to drink more than their lesser smart counter parts. Women who achieved "medium" or "high" test marks as
schoolgirls are up to 2.1 times more likely to drink daily as adults.The report explained the reasons may include: a more intensive social life that encourages
alcohol intake; a greater engagement into traditionally male spheres of
life, more
exposure to alcohol use during formative years; and greater postponement
of childbearing and its responsibilities among the better educated.People who abuse alcohol face a higher risk of suffering from health
problems including cancer, liver cirrhosis, lung and cardiovascular disease,
and mental issues.
