I find so many interesting concepts that I hope that you can enjoy and I feel that sharing them with you is fun. Living in Key West, the concept of drinking before or at work is not that uncommon, but this I find to be very interesting. This is from "The Huffington Post" and written by Kate
Bratskeir.
Most corporate
offices don't condone drinking on the job, but a case may be made for
reconsideration. As it turns out, a little bit of alcohol really can support
creative thinking.
Researchers at
the University of Illinois at Chicago found that a certain level of inebriation can help get the creative juices flowing. In the study,
participants whose blood alcohol level (BAC) was slightly under .08 percent
performed better in a creative task than did their sober counterparts. (The
intoxicated group, however, underperformed when they were assigned memory
tasks.) The researchers determined that a person's "creative peak" is reached
when the person hits a BAC of .075 percent.
Enter The
Problem Solver, a new beer that aims
to make it easier for drinkers to find their "creative peak." The
drink comes equipped with a scale for drinkers to weigh themselves with; the
bottle is labeled with an indicator for drinkers to determine how much they need
to drink to get to their sweet spot. BAC changes from drinker to drinker --
while a heavier person tends to require more alcohol to increase his or her
BAC, a smaller person may be deemed a "light weight." The Problem
Solver simplifies having to do all the math. This drink has a 7.1 percent
alcohol content, which is comparable to most malt liquors, and is taken into consideration when calculating BAC.
As for taste,
the company describes the brew as a "handcrafted Indian Pale Ale brewed to
tickle taste buds and brain cells. It has a refined bitterness with a
refreshing finish." The product's slogan is smart, if lacking a little
taste: "Finally, you can drink to solve problems," it reads on
their website. They do warn that drinking more
than the proper amount will not, in fact, enhance your creative thinking, but
reduce it.
