🍸 What is the connection between alcohol and innovation❓ 🎙️ On the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, you’ll hear the stories and tips that answer those questions in part two of our chat with Edward Slingerland, a professor of philosophy at the University of British Columbia and the author of Drunk: How We Sipped, Danced, and Stumbled Our Way to Civilization. 🔗 Link in bio https://lnkd.in/d54XPXE9 💡 Edward explains that it’s a double effect in enhancing individual creativity and reducing inhibitions. 📉 He cites the study that examined the number of patent applications during Prohibition in the US when people couldn’t drink socially. ⏳ It found that when Prohibition was imposed on a wet county, patent applications nosedived, wow, and didn't come back for about another three years. 🍹 Edward believes that the recovery is because people figured out speakeasies where they could drink socially again. 🧠 How does alcohol improve the quality of group brainstorming? 🎨 Edward observes that alcohol also enhances group creativity because individual members are more creative. 🤔 They’re also less nervous about saying something that your prefrontal cortex would judge as not worthy when perhaps it’s a great idea. ⚕️ Why is it important not to think about alcohol consumption through a medical lens alone? ⚖️ Edward believes that we have to recognize both the dangers and the benefits of alcohol to make intelligent decisions about how to use it. 📚 He wishes he had been able to address the inaccurate information about the health risks in the book as it's a classic example of how public policy regarding alcohol is completely distorted by this medicalized lens. 🍹 Can a drink spark your creativity❓ Let me know in the comments 👇 #natdecants #EdwardSlingerland #wineexperience #winestories #winestory #winegeek #winelover #winemoments #winetime #wineenthusiast #wine #wines #sommlife #wineinfluencer
