We can just imagine Budweiser's top
brass high-fiving each other upon hearing that drinking alcohol before a test might improve
your score (no, you're not sloshed, you read that right). In a study of 40 men,
University of Illinois researchers found that subjects who downed two pints of
beer before a quiz fared better than their sober counterparts. And not just a
little better - the drinkers solved 40 percent more brain teasers than the
teetotalers, and solved them faster. We're not advocating getting hammered
before the LSATs, but if you've got a breathalyzer handy, the study says that
the optimum blood alcohol level for enhanced "creative problem solving" is 0.07.
