Alcohol can sharpen the mind - study

By: Newstalk ZB staff | Latest Health News | Friday April 13 2012 7:30

 

A study's found that alcohol can sharpen the mind.

Daily Mail UK reports the American study has found that men who enjoy a relaxing drink are actually better at solving brain teasers than those who are stone cold sober.

Not only did the thirstier men get more questions right, they were also quicker in delivering the correct responses.

The volume of alcohol found to spark creative thought was around four units - the equivalent of two pints of beer or two medium glasses of wine.
