Default Drinking may enhance problem solving skills.

There must be some truth to this. I know since I quit drinking Ive gotten slower.

So drinking enhances your skills to solve problems which you got because you drank to solve problems?

Purely anecdotal, of course, but I play better pool @ 1 beer an hour than without. 2 or more and I get too sloppy.

Might be anecdotal, but the sample size is immense.

I once drank to forget, but then I forgot what I was drinking for.

There was an episode of the original WKRP in which DJ Dr. Johnny Fever was taking part in a holiday anti-DUI campaign. He was required to take a shot of liquor at every station break in order to demonstrate the slowing effect on human reflexes. An Ohio State Trooper was on hand to watch and record the effects as Johnny would take a drink and then test his reflexes by pressing a button on a device after a light flashed (as I recall). Johnny, who was a long time example of "improving life through chemistry" actually got faster with each shot and the trooper, frustrated by the impossibity of the results, began to take shots and try to prove his take on the effects of alcohol. By the end of the show the trooper was beyond wasted and Johnny still showed no effests at all...

The dose makes the poison. Or the timing. Or both.

I do not have a drinking problem:

I drink, I get drunk...

I get drunk, I fall down...

I fall down, I pass out...

No problem!...
