Did you know that drinking beer while studying is more beneficial than drinking caffeine while studying? It can easily be assumed that drinking alcohol while studying is distracting, but much to our surprise it is actually more useful. Here are some facts that prove alcohol is a better choice than caffeine according to Science Daily:

• Helps the brain remember facts more efficiently

• Improves problem-solving skills

• Social and intellectual lubricant to studying

• Complete tests faster than sober test-takers would

Combining alcohol and studying can help students increase their learning in many different ways. Alcohol enhances the learning while caffeine gives more of a short-lived adrenaline effect.

Of course, there are some benefits to caffeine. According to Study Magazine, caffeine gives you that boost of energy to either start your day or finish it off strong. It also stimulates the production of dopamine, which activates the brain centers. Many humans thrive off caffeine for their everyday life. But, little do people know, alcohol makes you feel more relaxed and more creative at the same time. Wouldn’t we all prefer to drink a couple beers while studying than the boring caffeine we normally do? If you don’t believe it, try it yourself!
