That's an interesting observation, it'd be interesting to see what could be the reason why that pattern might hold in a proper survey. But it could just be chance that it was that way at that particular facility.

Keep talking with your psychiatrist.

As I understand it, some studies don’t distinguish low-volume drinking from not drinking.

The quoted portion of the meta-study in the post makes it clear that the studies reviewed did distinguish between low-volume drinking and not drinking.

It wouldn't surprise me if sample selection not taking into account social factors which would cause people who drink at low volumes to lie and say they don't drink could play a role in certain studies.

Academic fraud is in no way a thing that is limited or even disproportionately prevalent in China. Perhaps the flavors of it are biased to one form or another in different cultures, but don't mistake that for more or less fraud in that culture. Perhaps you notice more from China simply because there are simply more Chinese people in the world than any other nation behind Indian people in India.

Incentives matter in any system. The incentives are perverse right now.

There was a whole season of The Wire that was dedicated to the theme of news publications demanding that more be done with less as budgets were cut. Craigslist was a major factor in the trend as it cut revenue severely for local publications.

It would be great if corn got that feature

There's a variety of maize that does fix nitrogen:

There are some political and technical hurdles to adapting it more broadly to the agricultural industry.
