Or, perhaps poor performance causes more stress, which in turn increases alcohol consumption. But I will give Dr. Grim credit for having carefully qualified his conclusion.

It always amazes me that they can call things like this a scientific study. It completely ignores other genetic and social patterns that go along with greater alcohol consumption. Dr Grim immediately jumps to alcohol as the cause without ever asking the basic question “Is alcohol consumption the cause, or simply another trait consistent with a personality type?”
