A word to the wise: Hang with the right crowd, and learn to imbibe - or let your career suffer.

If a recent study by the Reason Foundation is accurate, you need to swill down the booze in order to score major points with the good 'ol boys.

Drinkers earn 10 percent to 14 percent more at their jobs than nondrinkers, economists Bethany Peters and Edward Stringham found.

This may explain the phenomenon of uber-techies not moving up in the company - many of us don't invest in socializing, or boozing with the "in crowd", and sadly, many don't advance in their careers.
