does a beer or two ever help you work more productive?
 

ever have those days where you feel too hyperactive and unfocused and a beer or two might actually get you in a better frame of mind to get some work done? I'm going to try that theory right now, will see what happens

Try Aderral, kiddy speed.

No, because 1 ends up at 16

yeah, the beer is probably just a way of self-medicating :1orglaugh

It used to. With two kids now a beer at the end of the day lands me in lala land on the couch with my DVR. I don't crack them open until closing time...

Don't drink anymore ... also, am on Percocet for back pain. Yesterday I forgot I took my pill at 7am and at 7:30am retook one ... man was I a flying kite for 4-5 hours.

Did get LOTS of work done tho. :thumbsup

thanks leg 4! thats totally correct lol

1 case of beer ?

i am getting my inspiration after 6 beers

No it doesn't.

Nah, beer just makes me tired. However, a couple whiskeys takes the edge off, so I can tolerate another day of typing oh-so-exciting source code.

Beer no, I will just get tired out. But sometimes I will pour some four loko in a glass of ice to sip while I work and that works great. Just cant drink the entire can at once or else I'll be a little too fucked up to concentrate but spreading it out over some hours on ice gives youa nice buzz and the shit in it is stronger than caffeine. It's a shame theyre going to stop making it.

I've never been a very good day drinker. Couple or three beers in the afternoon and I'm liable to wake up at 6 pm not knowing what hit me.

During my years as a nightshift kind of webmaster a few beers to pass the time was okay. These days I tend to keep more regular hours, or try to.

Coffee is my daytime drink of salvation.

A beer or 2 is a like peanuts,you can't have just a couple

Only at night.

In 2004/2005/2006 when I was 21-23 years old I'd knock back a couple of coolers 2-3 days a week while working, those were by far my most productive days. I used to work at night so it was good to sit with a couple of cold ones and just work away. Didn't ever do more than 3 while working tho. I would have done it every night but I feared becoming an alcoholic lol. I usually did it Wednesday, Thursday, Friday nights so I could have most of my heavy duty stuff done for the weekend, and leave myself with only the bare minimum needing done.

No. It just makes me giddy for 30-60 minutes and then I'm more tired. Beer during work just doesn't cut it.

As long as it was after 9pm and I was in a positive frame of mind, it could certainly help my work, but just the one

It does help. I mainly drink it with meals though, not on it's own

no. :2 cents:

It does not help productivity. I think it reduces productivity.

Not really. 2 beers and I wanna party!

A hit or two helps me. =)

I never really liked the taste of beer really.

But no, a beer doesn't help me at all. In fact, I haven't drank in years. Not a drop.
