Science - Beer = Publications?

Sciencey beer.


A study has come out from Thomas Grim, an ornithologist at Palacky University, Czech Republic, stating that the more beer a scientist drinks, the less publications they will publish.

I am not a big fan of this study.

The New York Times also published an article about this study and I think that Dr. Mike Webster, an ornithologist from the Washington State University has it right. He says,
“Maybe those with poor publication records are drowning their sorrows.”
I hope this is the case.

There also appears to be a correlation between IQ and drinking wine vs beer. A Danish study shows that wine drinkers have higher IQs than beer drinkers.

I am okay with this since I enjoy wine and beer. I wonder if that just means I have an average IQ?
