Best Masters Degrees pulled a Buzzfeed and developed this nifty infographic on the correlation between IQ level and BAC. And the findings are exquisite.

The site looked at 55 years of data about American and British boozehounds and examined whether people's IQ influences a propensity for the sauce.

The study also uncovered how power hours increase the mortality risk by 45 percent, while staying dry increases the risk level to 51 percent.
