Reuters - Childhood IQ possibly linked to adult alcohol use
In what they call a surprising study, there was a correlation between scoring higher on IQ tests at age 10 and abusing alcohol by age 30. Even after economic and class factors were taken into account, with a 15-point increase there was at least a 1.17x chance for drinking problems. The correlation for women was stronger than for men, 1.17 times for men, 1.38 times for women, a significant finding. Women with higher IQs at age 10 predict higher degrees of alcohol abuse. More study is needed.
