Wasn't it something about drinking and Conservativism. :?


Drinking alcohol may enhance a person's problem solving skills, according to a new study.
Scientists found that men who either drank two pints of beer or two glasses of wine before solving brain teasers not only got more questions right, they also were quicker in delivering correct answers, compared to men who answered the questions sober.



While the latest findings go against the traditional beliefs that alcohol impairs analytical thinking and rational thoughts, lead author Professor Jennifer Wiley of the University of Illinois at Chicago discovered that alcohol may enhance creativity problem solving by reducing the mind's working memory capacity, which is the ability to concentrate on something in particular.


"Working memory capacity is considered the ability to control one's attention," Wiley told the Federation of Associations in Behavioral and Brain Sciences (FABBS). "It's the ability to remember one thing while you're thinking about something else."



While the latest study found that alcohol may enhance creative problem solving, previous research found that increased working memory capacity actually led to better analytical problem-solving performance.


Researcher from the current study published in the journal Consciousness and Cognition also found that people who drank alcohol and had a blood alcohol level of 0.07 or higher were worse at completing problems that required attentional control but better at creative problem solving tests.



However, the surprising discovery was that participants with a BAC of 0.07 or higher solved 40 percent more problems than their sober counterparts and took 12 seconds to complete the tasks compared to 15.5 seconds by teetotal participants.

What I find funny is he was claiming with his posted study that drinking brought out a person's Conservatism and this new study says that those that drink can be better problem solvers. So I would have to say Flounder was right A Conservative is a better Problem Solver.

But then there is always an exception to the rule. In this case we have Oldtimer who we know drinks but he sure is no problem solving conservative. His drinking on many occasions have got him into problems he couldn't solve to save his own Credibility. :wink:
