    from the University of Graz in Austria. In a study researchers discovered that mild alcohol intoxication helps lead to mental clarity and to spark creative thought. 70 male volunteers ages 19 to 32 were given a pint of alcohol free or regular beer. They then performed a series of word problem tests. Those who received the regular beer performed better than those that had non-alcoholic beer. Researchers were careful to point out that consuming more than a pint negated the advantage. So, have a pint and let's talk!

    ohoh I have a question. What is pint of beer equal to in real booze(burbon, whiskey, vodka, gin) terms. I've simply never been able to tolerate the taste of beer.:( How about wine coolers do they count?:)

    Not surprising. Most of my greatest achievements started with the phrase, "Hold my beer..."

    I came across a study years ago that said a moderate amount of beer killed weaker brain cells which was good because it allowed the stronger brain cells to thrive.

    12oz of 5% beer is equivalent to 50ml (one shot) of 80 proof liquor.
