flag Norwegian study finds teens who binge drank later had higher education and income, but researchers caution against drinking due to health risks.

flag A Norwegian study tracking over 3,000 people from age 13 to 31 found a correlation between binge drinking in adolescence and young adulthood and higher education and income later in life, according to sociologist Willy Pedersen. flag The research suggests heavy drinking may reduce social inhibitions and aid networking, potentially boosting career outcomes, but researchers stress the findings show correlation, not causation, and do not account for factors like socioeconomic background. flag Experts warn against interpreting the results as a recommendation to drink, citing well-established health risks including liver disease, cancer, and cognitive decline.
