WASHINGTON — Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago found that having a blood alcohol level right of .075 makes people more creative than those who were sober.

But the same was not true for other areas. Memory seemed to suffer in those who had a few drinks. Inebriated research subjects underperformed when they were assigned memory tasks. See study here.

So how do you know when your blood alcohol level is just right to get the creative juices flowing?

There’s a beer for that. It’s called The Problem Solver and it comes with a visual scale on the bottle that shows you how much to drink to get to almost legally drunk.
