People Who Live Close To Bars Drink More Heavily
 [Atlanta.CBSLocal] A new study finds that people who live close to a bar tend to drink more.A group of Finnish researchers collected data from nearly 55,000 participants from 2000 to 2009. The study found that heavy and extreme drinking occurred when people lived about a half-mile away from the bar. The Boston Globe reports that the chances a person will drink too much jumped to 17 percent living near a bar. Conversely, the farther away a participant was from the bar, the less likely they would be heavy drinkers. Posted by: Fred 2012-11-11 |
