People with higher IQ tend to drink more alcohol, Study suggest.

Research into the link between intelligence and alcohol consumption uncovers some intriguing insights.



For example, a Swiss study revealed that individuals with higher IQ scores, assessed during military service, were more prone to moderate drinking.


In contrast, the 1970 British Cohort Study found that higher childhood intelligence was associated with increased alcohol use in adulthood.


Additionally, a U.S. study of young people aged 14 to 21 discovered that those with lower verbal intelligence drank less overall but faced a greater risk of alcohol-related problems if they did drink.


These findings suggest a multifaceted relationship between intelligence and drinking behaviors, influenced by various factors.
