The journal Consciousness and Cognition has recently published a study from the Department of Psychology at the University of Illinois in Chicago. Its title is both heartening and revealing: “Uncorking the muse: Alcohol intoxication facilitates creative problem solving.”

The authors explain how it has always been thought that alcohol loosens the positive senses, yet no one has really researched it.

In this case, subjects were subjected to “moderate intoxication.” This was numerically defined as a blood alcohol content of around .075.
