The problem I have with this study, and other studies like it is that it's presuming intelligence has anything to do with thinking time. It has nothing to do with thinking time. Suppose a very intelligent person with a large vocabulary may take longer and forumulate their answer to a question more carefully.

Alcohol is a depressant and can make you calm and assists your brain in being able to block stimuli, essentially reducing your situational awareness, which would otherwise distract your brain from focusing on a specific task.

Red wine pwns beer as far as health goes, Jägermeister is a popular digestif as well, but is often associated with greasy frat boys.

it relaxed me for the first time i had sex. Also it is great for playing golf, since i have anger issues :D lol. Basically it helps put a person at ease and make them relax versus being all hyper. Helps with my ADHD.

I like beer because it's good. I drink beer because I should. When there is a song to sing, I sing it and beer you bring. I drink beer when I am sad, 'cause the beer it makes me glad. Now there's nothing left to say. Let's all go drink beer.
