WHOA!

Clever shit, right there.

Maybe you should drink more, and take another run at it.

Yeah, I'm the epitome of "thin skinned."

You're a few drinks down, obviously.

Although I'm working on getting a bit intelligent this evening, I have no fucking idea what you're even try to say.

Have another.

should we conclude from this that AP and Trev are genius?
Took a 10 second glance through that article and might go back to read the whole thing after work, once I get my nightly glass bottle of red started.

One quick observation, though...correlation doesn't necessarily imply cause and effect.

There. How's that for sounding smart?

You went full retard there. Never go full retard.

The article doesn't imply causation in any way; never does try to state that being intelligent causes folks to drink more or vice versa. The whole point of the study is that there is positive correlation between intelligence (specifically early intelligence) and alcohol consumption.

Have a drink.

I got that from the article, hence my observation.

The thread title, "The More you Drink, the smarter you are", implies, to me, that maybe there is cause and effect (or at least that's what Scott gleaned from the article).
It also implies that Scott probably doesn't drink very much.
