Drinking makes you a better thinker, also sexier.

God Bless the boffins, ABC Online is reporting on research at ANU showing that not only does moderate alcohol intake make you happier and healthier. It also makes you smarter.

Get that up you, cloddish abstemious teetotallers!

I haven’t been to the durham for ages – infact I think last time I went was to watch my brother make a couple of cameo appearances in the guise of a bassist (bassists rock) for one of the regular cover bands there

How is the Durham Arms these days?

I am still drunk from last night…seriously I think not only am I wittier when hung over I am actually better at my job (and I am pretty bloody good as it stands, on top of my good looks, wealth and modesty)…contemplating getting toasty tonight but sleep seems like a necblahblahblah

I will be drunk tonight.. Same place, same bat channel Thumper ?

i tend to be verbose, overbearing and opinionated when drunk.

moreso.

I guess the obvious solution to prove this is to test it…

AD, that’s probably just biting sarcasm, bear-with-a-sore-head style.

I’m far wittier when I’m hungover.. if that means anything

imagine that, anu students think that drinking makes you smarter and sexier.

southpac must be relieved.

Being more intelligent makes you drink so that your percieved intelligence becomes equal to the rest of society, perhaps?

And having the income to do so.

Of course, there’s no evidence of the cause-effect relationship here. It might be that being smart makes you predisposed to drinking at a moderate level (for whatever reason that might be).

But I have no doubt that people will interperate this in whatever way suits them (see above) 🙂

I thought drinking made OTHER PEOPLE smarter and more attractive…..

Oh I see it now. (Sorry, I’m pissed.)

What mistake?
