- Abstract
In this paper, we use data from 1989 and 1994 to examine the effects of recent drinking, long-term drinking, long-term abstinence, daily drinking frequency, and drinking frequency within 30 days on the income of men and women. The results show that recent drinking has a positive effect on both men and women, while the effect on women is greater than that on men; long-term drinking has a significant positive effect on both men and women, while long-term abstinence has a negative effect on women, but has almost no effect on men. Furthermore, the impact of average daily drinking times on wages fluctuates with the specific number of changes and is different for men and women; finally, abusive drinking is negatively correlated with income and has more significant side effects on men. After three parts of the study, we conclude that moderate drinking with 2 drinks for the male and 1 drink for the female is best for wages. Through qualitative and quantitative analysis, this article examines the effect of both drinking behaviour and the drinking amount on income, helping people make better decisions and providing references for the formulation of related policies.
