      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.

                  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?

                            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.

                             

                              I can tell you that after "a few" beers, I'm damn good at karaoke. Or at least I sound damn good to me.
