Have you ever wondered how university students can be drunk most of the time but still get through exams? Well according to a 2013 study out of Keele University, drinking isn’t all that good for students, despite what they may think.
In fact the study found that hangovers impair the ability to think and do simple arithmetic. It also slows reaction times.
Despite the evidence there are some that believe drinking can actually help scholastically. Here’s how,
- Alcohol can improve your creativity. According to a University of Illinois study, men are more creative with a blood alcohol content of about 0.75.
- Alcohol can make you smarter. Moderate alcohol consumption over time has even been found to protect against diseases like Alzheimers and Parkinsons’ diseases.
- Alcohol can help ward off the cold. Whisky has long been a used as a cure for a sore throat to the flu which could ordinarily cause you to miss your exams.
