1 can of beer a day (and pretend it's soda, don't just chug it down) will actually improve your cognitive abilities, cause alcohol kills the dead brain cells first. Just don't drink too much, and think of it as medicine.
Combined with some exercise, that same can will make you lose some weight as well.
Just don't go overboard.
Oh man, I hope you aren't joking, because I thought drinking 1 can/day was a bad habit :D
Link?

His uncle Larry. Hahahaha... Alcohol improves cognitive abilities... That's hilarious. Alcohol is a relaxant, which can make you perform better in a lot of ways, but the idea of dead brain cells getting in the way is hard to believe for me. Layman's neurology

Its all about survival of the fittest, the bad brain cells die first, leaving the good brain cells to remain.
The fact that you almost instantaneously become smarter the more you drink is enough evidence.
The problem is when the alcohol wears out, the good brain cells become really tired from overuse. This is why you get a hang over, being an einstein for more than 5 hours is tough work on your brain and is your body telling you to get some rest.
However afterwards you feel refreshed, and the next time you go out, you can drink even more and be smarter for longer! Some people mistake this for tolerance, its in fact the good brain cells getting used to working harder for longer. After a while your brain becomes really optimised and creative. This is why most philosophical ideals and hypothetical situations come from the pub.
Alcohol and getting drunk has lots of benefits. The 5 stages of drunkenness is tantamount to this.
Stage 1 - SMART
This is when you suddenly become an expert on every subject in the known Universe. You know you know everything and want to pass on your knowledge to anyone who will listen. At this stage you are always RIGHT. And of course the person you are talking to is very WRONG. This makes for an interesting argument when both parties are SMART.
Stage 2 - GOOD LOOKING
This is when you realise that you are the BEST LOOKING person in the entire bar and that people fancy you. You can go up to a perfect stranger knowing they fancy you and really want to talk to you. Bear in mind that you are still SMART, so you can talk to this person about any subject under the sun.
Stage 3 - RICH
This is when you suddenly become the richest person in the world. You can buy drinks for the entire bar because you have an armoured truck full of money parked behind the bar. You can also make bets at this stage, because of course, you are still SMART, so naturally you will win all your bets. It doesn't matter how much you bet 'cos you are RICH. You will also buy drinks for everyone that you fancy, because now you are the BEST LOOKING person in the world.
Stage 4 - BULLET PROOF
You are now ready to pick fights with anyone and everyone especially those with whom you have been betting or arguing. This is because nothing can hurt you. At this point you can also go up to the partners of the people who you fancy and challenge to a battle of wits or money. You have no fear of losing this battle because you are SMART, you are RICH and hell, you're BETTER LOOKING than they are anyway!
Stage 5 - INVISIBLE
This is the Final Stage of Drunkenness. At this point you can do anything because NO ONE CAN SEE YOU. You dance on a table to impress the people who you fancy because the rest of the people in the room cannot see you. You are also invisible to the person who wants to fight you. You can walk through the street singing at the top of your lungs because no one can see or hear you and because you're still SMART you know all the words.

sounds good to me, especially the invisibility part.

Once we went out as a group of TLers with some others I didn't know - one of the Korean guys (old enough to know better) ended up puking in to a glass less than a foot away from where we were trying to eat/chat. It made me so uncomfortable I asked to leave -_-
Maybe he was just nervous about being around such a pretty lady? Asking to leave immediately afterwards probably didn't help.

While I don't doubt there may be correlations, I highly doubt the strength of the relationships. Unfortunately I am not in the library right now and can't open the paper. I will try to read it later.

Because it's a legal way to distort your consciousness. Well, perhaps it is not possible to make it taste more pleasant. If you really don't like the taste of it, try those Smirnoff flavored drinks. It's like drinking soda, you hardly even taste the alcohol. Edit: Smirnoff Ice, that's the one.
Its because they have hardly any alcohol in them

I know I'm bumping this, but it feels appropriate..... since I haven't been on TL pretty much at all in the last week..... But I discovered something on Monday.....
You know that disgustingly sweet Jolly Rancher soft drink? Mix that in about a 2:1 ratio with Vodka, and you can barely start tasting the alcohol..... If you wanna get drunk, but can't stand the taste, this is the way to do it.

theres actually a jolly rancher shot that tastes just like jolly ranchers and is around 20% if ur into that kinda thing, ive actually found that mixing a bit less then 1/2 cup of vodka and rest gatorade fierce grape tastes alright if ur goal is really to get wasted, its cheap, not too awful tasting and packs a real punch if u have about 3/4 of a mickey of vodka on ur own
