Earlier this week I posted about drinks that men should never order. But I never thought I would say that you should actually drink! I've never been a huge proponent of drinking. Sure it helps you escape - but it's only temporary and the next day you feel like shit (or at least I do)....
But shit, a new study from the University of Illinois at Chicago psychologists found that alcohol actually makes people smarter. Yeah, believe it or not - booze actually boosts people creative problem-solving skills.
40 young men were tested. 20 were required to stay sober (yeah, those unlucky bastards!) and 20 were "required" to drink until their blood alcohol level was 0.07 - 0.01 short of what most states consider intoxicated. The drunk guys solved 40% more of the brainteasers given -- and in a faster time than the sober men. (Granted, the sober guys might just have been pissed they weren't supposed to drink!)
So, do you need to do some problem solving - drink up bitches!
