RE: Want To Be More Creative? Research Says You Should Drink A Beer!
What happens when you take the experiment a step further. 0.03 is maybe a light buzz, if we consider 0.08 to be the legal limit for driving (in the US anyway), then we're not even halfway to that point.
At which point do we experience diminishing returns. i.e. is 0.03 the magic spot where your RAT scores began to fall off (obviously being three sheets to the wind can be creative, but productively creative? Not so sure).
It would be interesting for a study to look for the sweet spot. Drink 2.6 beer and you will be good to write all night. This sort of thing.
Thanks for sharing, this is certainly an interesting topic of discussion!!
The authors themselves state that beneficial effects to creativity are NOT increased by additional alcohol consumption.
Thanks for reading!
Referring to this quote?
That's a fair point, but seems like there could be some fine tuning. This is a pretty vague ballpark. Or do they go into greater detail in the full report which I didn't click on?
Either way, I appreciate the reply! Have a great night!
They reference previous studies which were done at higher BAC levels in the discussion. However they themselves in this study did not go to higher levels then the discussed 0.03.
Cheers! Have a great night as well!
