“…A single person or person who never married is more likely to never have drank as opposed to a moderate drinker. Previous studies (Auld, 2005;Barrett, 2002;Hamilton & Hamilton, 1997) find that being married is significant in terms of drinking status and that married people are less likely to be heavy drinkers and more likely to be moderate drinkers.…”

“…Previous studies show that on average people drink less as they get older, and as a result are less likely to be heavy drinkers (Auld, 2005;Barrett, 2002;Blow et al, 2005;Hamilton & Hamilton, 1997;Moore et al, 2005;Mullahy & Sindelar, 1996). This study has had similar findings in so far as those in the majority of categories up to age 59 years are more likely to be a moderate drinker compared with a non-drinker and never having drank, particularly those aged 18e29 years, however for those aged 70 years plus they are more likely to never have drank or be a non-drinker.…”

“…Religion can influence how people view alcohol and the levels they consume, with findings being that Catholics seem to behave differently to other religions (Auld, 2005;Hamilton & Hamilton, 1997). Bettendorf and Dijkgraaf (2011) estimate the effect of religion on income in the Netherlands using two measures of religion, one being church membership and the other being attendance.…”

This paper presents a study of the effects of alcohol consumption on household income in Ireland using the Slán National Health and Lifestyle Survey 2007 dataset, accounting for endogeneity and selection bias. Drinkers are categorised into one of four categories based on the recommended weekly drinking levels by the Irish Health Promotion Unit; those who never drank, non-drinkers, moderate and heavy drinkers. A multinomial logit OLS Two Step Estimate is used to explain individual's choice of drinking status and to correct for selection bias which would result in the selection into a particular category of drinking being endogenous. Endogeneity which may arise through the simultaneity of drinking status and income either due to the reverse causation between the two variables, income affecting alcohol consumption or alcohol consumption affecting income, or due to unobserved heterogeneity, is addressed. This paper finds that the household income of drinkers is higher than that of non-drinkers and of those who never drank. There is very little difference between the household income of moderate and heavy drinkers, with heavy drinkers earning slightly more. Weekly household income for those who never drank is €454.20, non-drinkers is €506.26, compared with €683.36 per week for moderate drinkers and €694.18 for heavy drinkers

“…Foram construídos modelos para cada uma das expectativas investigadas, separadas por gênero e ajustando-as para as seguintes variáveis: idade, escolaridade e renda. Tais variáveis foram escolhidas como potenciais confundidores por serem apontadas, pela literatura, como associadas a expectativas 29,30,31,32,33,34,35 e também a padrão de uso de álcool 36,37,38 . A associação entre beber com embriaguez e expectativas do efeito de uso de álcool entre homens é mostrada na Tabela 2.…”

“…Empirical studies on the earnings effects of tobacco use have found significant wage penalties attached to smoking, ranging from 2% to 24% (Levine, Gustafson, and Velenchik, 1997;Heineck and Schwarze, 2003;van Ours, 2004;Auld, 2005). Existing analyses, however, focus exclusively on the current smoking status of individuals.…”
