WASHINGTON (AFP) - People who consume alcohol earn significantly more at their jobs than non-drinkers, according to a US study that highlighted "social capital" gained from drinking.

The moral of the study is to go to happy hour. It's good to know that i've been ahead of the curve.

    I have a friend doing a piece on American youth and debt.  And she is looking for young, hip people like you to interview. 

Hi guys,

I am doing a story on Youth and Debt for my next TV piece. The story will focus on American youth (18-30 yrs olds) and how they are falling into deeper and deeper debt thanks to credit cards, student loans and the rising cost of living. I know we all struggle (to different degrees) to make ends meet as young, just-out-of-college professionals.

What I'm asking from you is this- do you, or anyone you know, want to be profiled for my story? I'm not going to make you look bad, and you don't even have to come out and say, "I'm in $50,000 over my head". Even if you're just paying back your student loans or struggling with the high interest rate on your credit card, I just want to showcase young people dealing with money issues. Even if you're not in any debt but are struggling to make ends meet. Perhaps a shop-a-holic who can't stop using his/her credit card?


If you know of anyone who may be interested in participating in this story, please let me know. My deadline is in a week, so I need to shoot this ASAP. It's fun and completely painless- plus, you'll be an international SUPERSTAR!


If this sounds like smoething you are interested in contact my friend and help her out. Thanks.

After what seems like forever my apartment is now livable.  This comes at a good time because my office it now going to be virtual and I'll be watching sportcenter all day long working from home all day.  My time at the Envoy apartments was enjoyable and full of good times.  But moving the the Croydon was a financially and pratically sound decision (I hope i don't regret because of the crazy lady across the hall).  With that said let the fun at the Croydon begins.  The bar is not yet open, but feel free to come visit.
