I am always looking for excuses to enjoy a beer.  And once again, science (SCIENCE!) comes through.  A study out of Austria’s University of Graz says that a beer can loosen up our brain and promote more thinking that would fall outside of the box.

However, that same study also acknowledges that beer can inhibit “executive control.”  AKA, fine motor functions.  So if you’re area of creativity includes dance or say…heavy machinery…your brilliant or ground breaking idea will likely be overshadowed by it’s potential poor performance.

So…sounds like I need to experiment with the ratios of beers consumed to good ideas.  I’ll report back on my extensive research at a later date.  — [eric]
