IQ Increases 1 Point For Each 3 Quart Increase in Alcohol Consumption

Or Does Alcohol Consumption Increase 3 Ounces for Each One point Increase in IQ?

The correlation between alcohol consumption, and number of vehicles per traffic death, 2007 PISA math score, and 1995 TIMSS math score, is roughly equivalent—greater than 0.35

The correlation with IQ with no adjustments, and no outliers removed, is significantly greater, at .053

When just a few outliers are removed, correlation increases dramatically, to 0.78

The Possible Linear Relationship

To achieve a linear relationship between IQ and alcohol consumption does not require that the IQ’s of most countries to be adjusted at all, and most of those who require adjustments are relatively minor, and reveal quite bit about the countries which fell significantly off the curve:

Alcohol Consumption per Capita Tracks IQ Perfectly

In ounces of alcohol per capita per year, IQs increase one IQ point for each 3 ounce increase in alcohol consumption.
