Beer as a Litmus Test

[ quot ]
 ...
the more beer a scientist drinks, the less likely the 
scientist is to publish a paper or to have a paper cited by 
another researcher, a measure of a paper’s quality and 
importance.
 ...
In spite of his study, Dr. Grim, who said he would on occasion 
enjoy more than 12 beers in a night, is not on a campaign to 
decrease beer drinking among scientists. Why not? His answer: 
"I like it."
