Title: Does Alcohol Make You Clever ?
Post by: neilep on 15/08/2012 18:38:09

Dearest Alcys,

As a tea-total sheepy I of course know absolutely nothing about alcohol except for the fact that it's something imbibed by people and snails !

Look here's some of the stuff !

Some Alcohol Stuff Just Moments Ago !

Nice eh ?

Being delivered for who- knows-what ? next Tuesday !


Anyway....It seems that consuming a "dose" of alcohol can in fact have beneficial effect on the old grey matter . In a study at the university of Illinois 40% more brain teasers were correctly solved by volunteers who had drunk the equivalent of two pints of beer than by those who drank no alcohol...........How come ?....if ewe're sober enough ..are ewe able to elucidate ?

How Does Alcohol Enable Ewe To Answer Brainteasers Correctly ?


I of course have no clue whatsoever !.....I really do not !


Even if I drank alcohol....I'd still have no idea !

Do ewe know ?



Hugs and shmishes




mwah mwah !
