An interesting study has been undertaken on the members of Intercasino.  Targeting the UK-based members of the online casino, the study purportedly asked whether players were more inclined to gamble online or drink alcohol (or as the survey so aptly put: booze).  A UK media website picked up news of the study and published it, which is pretty interesting to say the least. 

Although there was no preference of gambling over boozing, it was surprising to see that nearly 20% of those polled would give up drinking to be able to keep gambling in the online casino.  The most time-consuming activity that people would be willing to forego was watching the telly, while just 9% said they would seriously consider quitting their job if it meant they had a chance at playing professional online poker.

Other interesting stats were that nearly 375,000 UK citizens gamble online for over ten hours in a seven period time frame.  At least ten hours per week is very high for that many players, which only shows why online casino gambling is a billion dollar industry and growing.  In just one month alone, over 1.5 million players log into a UK online casino.  The most fun numbers to come out of the study were that 3% of those surveyed admitted to gambling online while at the work place, and that 15% testified to either wearing their birthday suit or just underwear when they gamble in the online casino.
