I played this Russian guy in chess one time at his house. He was murdering me. Then he proclaimed, "Now vee playz Russian chezz". He brought out a board with different sized shot-glasses for pieces. He put beer in his pieces and vodka in mine. When you take a player's piece you drink. The idea is to even out who has the advantage by getting them more drunk.
Well, I'm not a drinker. I kept getting worse. He kept getting better.
I think he was double the legal limit when we finished and he was still mopping the floor with me.

Don't ever drink vodka with a Russian. Might as well go head-to-head with Dale Earnhardt Jr in a car race.
2013 goals: Kick some arse. Moreso than 2012.

Lemme guess, the study was done by men. In a bar.

Yes yes. And never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby

I don't think the surveys they do for Family Feud count...

Uhhh, I don't understand the study!
Those who try, fail! Those who do what it takes to succeed, succeed!!
My guess is that the beers relax you. And everything works better when you are relaxed.

"According to a University of Illinois at Chicago study, men who drank a few beers were better at problem-solving than their sober counterparts."
Isn't not caring about your problems anymore technically the same as solving them?
Spaniel (dude), you're from Indiana.... Dale Jr.???
You're supposed to say "Tony Stewart" or "Jeff Gordon" or other local stars.

Well, not everything

Well now. It depends on "a few". Some tasks.... say, bowling, have a beer threshold. A little makes you better... to a point. Over that, and you can't bowl for shit. This has always been my test to determine "is x a sport?" If there's a beer threshold where a little makes you better, then no.
As for problem solving, I guess it depends on the problem being solved.
