Cleverest women are the heaviest drinkers

最聰明的女性也是飲酒狂

Those with degrees are almost twice as likely to drink daily, and they are also more likely to admit to having a drinking problem.

高學(xué)歷的女性比起平常人有近兩成幾率每天飲酒，同時(shí)他們也更傾向于承認(rèn)自己有酗酒的問(wèn)題。

A similar link between educational attainment and alcohol consumption is seen among men, but the correlation is less strong.

受教育程度和飲酒的關(guān)系在男性當(dāng)中也同樣存在，但是關(guān)聯(lián)性沒(méi)有那么強(qiáng)。

The findings come from a comprehensive study carried out at the London School of Economics in which researchers tracked the lives of thousands of 39-year-old women and men, all born in the UK during the same week in 1970.

這項(xiàng)發(fā)現(xiàn)是由倫敦經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)院通過(guò)一項(xiàng)綜合研究得出的。研究者跟蹤了上千名39歲男性和女性的生活，被訪者都于1970年的同一個(gè)星期、出生在英國(guó)。

The report concludes: "The more educated women are, the more likely they are to drink alcohol on most days and to report having problems due to their drinking patterns.

這項(xiàng)報(bào)告總結(jié)說(shuō)：女性的受教育程度越高，就越可能大部分時(shí)間飲酒，并且報(bào)告因自己飲酒的模式而產(chǎn)生問(wèn)題。

"The better-educated appear to be the ones who engage the most in problematic patterns of alcohol consumption."

“受良好教育的女性似乎正是那些陷入有問(wèn)題的飲酒模式的人?！?/div>

Women's alcohol consumption can even be predicted from their scores in school tests taken when they are as young as five.

女性的飲酒量可以在五歲的時(shí)候，通過(guò)她們?cè)趯W(xué)校的考試得分就能預(yù)測(cè)。

Women who achieved "medium" or "high" test marks as schoolgirls are up to 2.1 times more likely to drink daily as adults.

那些在學(xué)?？荚囍心玫健爸械取被颉皟?yōu)秀”的女孩子，成人后比其他人多處兩倍的幾率每日飲酒。

The authors of the report, Francesca Borgonovi and Maria Huerta, suggest several possible explanations as to why better-educated women drink more.

這份研究的作者Francesca Borgonovi和Maria Huerta解釋了為什么受教育程度高的女性會(huì)喝得更多。

They tend to have children later, postponing the responsibilities of parenthood. They may have more active social lives or work in male-dominated workplaces with a drinking culture.

因?yàn)樗齻兩⒆拥臅r(shí)間相對(duì)較晚，推遲了她們承擔(dān)為人父母責(zé)任的時(shí)間。她們也更可能有活躍的社交生活，又或許在一個(gè)男性主導(dǎo)的領(lǐng)域工作，因而在工作時(shí)接受飲酒的文化。

As girls, they may have grown up in middle-class families and seen their parents drink regularly.

在未成年時(shí)，她們成長(zhǎng)于中產(chǎn)階級(jí)家庭，目睹她們的父母習(xí)慣性地喝一點(diǎn)酒。
