Studying while drinking beer
Started by plsfoldthx
I prefer scotch; classier with fewer bathroom breaks.
I love scotch.
Scotchy, scotch, scotch.
Here it goes down,
down into my belly,
Mmm mmm mmm.

this isnt working very well
I occasionally drink while studying. Sometimes beer😱.
Try some good beer though- dos x, yingling, german beer, etc... Just something that isn't PBR, natty, or old milwalk..
I like a rum and coke or a blinded white Russian smoothie. But I'm not getting hammered it's just a drink or two.

I preferred wine or vodka tonics, though depending how many you drink, it can become a race towards futility. 
I've had a beer or two and started studying a couple hours afterward. Didn't seem to really impact my ability to concentrate or retain
Oh, yeah, makes a LOT of sense taking a CNS depressant instead of a stimulant. 🙄 Gimme a 16 oz monster energy drink, and some ah- other things, anyday. I'll drink the beer afterwards, as a reward, and to settle the hell down so i can get some sleep. Why would you ever want to 'relax' while studying??
And the word for the day is gunner.
Haha yeah. Gunners make me sad. So many key college experiences missed out on.
^^^ pretty much! Yeah I will be starting med sch. this fall at 27 y/o...but not being a premed undergrad was priceless!!!
This.
If u alter ur mind to study (drinking, smoking et al) make sure u alter it the same way again for tests to maximize recall...
If you do it like this, you'll have some stuff you learned while not drinking (like in class or the library), and some stuff you learned while drinking. Oh, and if a friend gives you a tidbit of information, and you weren't drinking, you might not be able to recall that either. Therefore, I propose a 24/7 state of intoxication, that way you'll never miss a thing 😀
EDIT: xkcd is awesome!

I don't drink while I study, but I do prefer to study at bars. I like to think that I'm absorbing the chill atmosphere. Plus, the loud noises and dim lighting keep my mind from wandering while I study...
And, as soon as I'm done - hello awesome Portland beer!

Studying and drinking is fine, as long as you drink before the exam.

Having a little to drink can be great for studying.
Too much and it's great for not studying.

I'm doing it right now. What now?
If we were to get technical, he was saying that no one drinks and studies at the same time. You are drinking, studying, and posting on SDN -- which is a very, very, very different thing!
always remember, kiddos, to be stoned and drunk when you go to the DMV for your driver's license pic
