Drinking habits by party affiliation

Flawed methodology.

I think you put a higher value on cultural conservatism, whereas I (for example) think it's less relevant than one's political conservatism (i.e., a Bible readin' White Southern male who loves God and country and lives a traditional lifestyle but strongly supports unions, redistributing income and regulating the free market has no business calling someone like me a RINO or liberal of any kind).  Using your (presumed) framework, I think there'd be a correlation, I do admit.

EDIT: Heavy drinker (R)

The only reason this is even a question is because of posters in the other thread's absurd belief that the word 'conservative' always and only has a political meaning.

That's seriously what you took away from that "argument"?  LOL.

Didn't bother to read your post. "Flawed methodology" in the sense that being drunk once shouldn't be that strong of an indicator. Even effing Antonio's been drunk once. If the survey responses were tailor to a range of drinking, more information could be gleaned from this. There are a total of only six options; secondly, if the respondent had been drunk once, it puts them in a camp with people who might be drunk three nights a week. How much information are you going to get from that? The options are zero and greater-than-or-equal-to one. Even though doing an actually methodologically rigorous poll might be impossible on this forum in this format, there was still at least a better way to do this.

Yikes, guess I'll return the favor.

Jesus man, pay attention to the edit. Your post addressed my worldview and not my comment on "flawed methodology". As such, I responded in order. I wanted to be upfront, though, rather than underhanded. I type semi-stream of consciousness.

Haha, you hadn't edited it when I read it!  Agreed on the methodology.
