I have a big paper due on Thursday, and I need something to help me sit down and get it done. I've heard of people trying this before, but does it work?

Ive found it best to drink a 40 before, during and after (for best results).

How would being intoxicated help you write a paper?

If you mean simply having a drink to help calm your nerves, wouldn't wine work better?

What's the subject of the paper?

Maybe a couple beers just to drink, but to drink alcohol for the purpose of intoxication... nah, it wouldn't help write a paper for me anyway. I wouldn't want do do something that interferes with thinking clearly.

the subject is postpartum depression treatments.
its a 12-15 page research paper, a review on the scholarly literature regarding postpartum depression treatments (minimum of 15 sources) :(

i dont mean intoxication i mean just one every hour or so (i dont think thatd intoxicate me)

maybe it would make the task of writing the paper seem less daunting?

Sure. To some, it helps open up creativity.

Was it the poet Edgar Allan Poe needing a few drinks before he can write anything?

Yeah but that's just because of how they grade papers.

You didn't thing Prof actually reads it did you? He's too busy with his beer.

Prof bunches all the papers up, tosses into air, grade depends on which stair step yours lands on. Truly

I think some really do this heh. I took a C programming class last term and the final we had to write a pretty in depth alg, and I just couldn't get mine to work right. I turned in the code got it back a few days later with an A at the top. Of course to be fair, my prof frequently showed up to class stoned, and sometimes just dind't show up.

There are better things to consume before writing papers. Beer is not one of them.

I think it helps. I usually go for a beer before doing any school work. Before the SATs I filled a soda bottle with beer. WOrks for me. NOt sure why since a beer doesn't really do much. But eh, I'll keep doing it.

My dad had a guy paint some racing stripes among other things on his car. This guy does not work until he has 6-7 beers in his system, and supposedly he's one of the best painters in Michigan, needless to say, the paint he put on my dad's car turned out amazing.

I think it all depends on the person.
