Drinking Alcohol May Significantly Enhance Problem Solving Skills

[OVerLoRDI]

I think it makes you respond based on your gut instinct faster. Or in other words you doubt yourself less and don't over complicate things. Often times your gut is right.

 

[Theb]

It certainly solves a lot of my problems... at least temporarily.

 

[GoodRevrnd]

Hmmm... I always played BF2 matches better when I had a bit to drink first and it helps in NHL 12 also.

The Buffalo Theory

Well you see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the heard is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.

In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster more efficient machine.

And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.

I need examples of these "creative" problems.

I got one for you:

Smoking hot girl has a fat girl as a side kick. How do you get to girl while avoiding her fat friend?

 

[Regs]

Too bad most alcoholics have alternative motives.

Completely ignore the hot girl then hit on the fat girl. Hot girl will be so flabbergasted that she'll sleep with you just to prove she's better than the fat girl.

Well then I'm probably the best problem solver in the world.

Well, it certainly expedites the resolution of social issues.

 

[Atomic Playboy]

Well then I'm probably the best problem solver in the world.

I could think you under the table.

 

[Theb]

I could think you under the table.

What... uh... what are you offering to do exactly?

Edit: and would it cost anything? Everything that's been done to me under a table has been fun.

Have a few more drinks...I'm sure you can figure it out.:ninja:

 

[SphinxnihpS]

Alcohol does not kill brain cells.

The Greeks had it right, all things in moderation.

0=ok
moderate=better
heavy=bad

I could see this backfiring. Especially if you're drinking.

I can confirm this as well, i'm more productive at night when writing my technical documents after pounding a few

 

[SlitheryDee]

Yeah I ended up screwing a fat girl a couple of times because of this strategy. If it drove her hot friend mad with desire she never gave me any indication of it. I consider it a break even deal if you get some though.

The Ballmer peak is totally true. Having a beer at work makes me super productive. I think it lowers my inhibitions just enough that I don't worry about the little things that I shouldn't be worrying about anyway.

 

[n7]

This bodes well for me.

 

[l0cke]

Great, now they just need to lower the drinking age. I'll test this theory in 2013.

 

[brainhulk]

i'm going to show this to my supervisor!

now they need to see if marijuana improves creativity

Looks like you missed the b-key and hit the n-key when you did your search in page egosearch.

 

[Exterous]

I just sent it to my boss - maybe I'll get to test this after lunch :awe:

(To any future prospective employers who find out my screen name I am not advocating drinking at work unless it becomes socially acceptable/confirmed benefitial in which case I am clearly keenly aware of new and important trends)
