A Danish brewery has created a beer that claims to get the creative juices flowing with just the right dose of beer buzz.
Here’s the premise: Makers of The Problem Solver cite scientific research which has shown that the average person reaches ‘creative peak’ at an alcohol level of 0.075 percent.
Anecdotally, artistic types have long subscribed to the power of a few beers or glasses of wine to help unblock their creativity and inhibitions. The problem, however, is when they pass their limits.
After crunching the numbers, Rocket Brewing Co. and ad agency CP & B Copenhagen came up with a bottle that comes with an indicator on the side that tells drinkers when to stop drinking based on their weight: Men get one column, women another.
The lighter your body mass, the less you can drink before hitting critical creative peak.
The 75cl bottle contains handcrafted Indian Pale Ale, described as having a bitter and refreshing finish.
The marketing gimmick is based on a study out of the University of Illinois at Chicago which found that moderate intoxication helped people solve more creative world problems in less time than their sober counterparts, tasks that challenged subjects to look, not for the most obvious answer, but for more remote and studied solutions.

As We all close out 2014, I want to share a few personal "thank you"s...
:: I am thankful for the family that still cherishes Me despite flaws, clashes, and doubts. I am thankful I have been a father, a brother, a friend, and confidante to those that I share my genetic DNA with. They have accepted Me, flaws and all, and have made Me a better person in 2014.
:: I am thankful for close friends who have never allowed Me to lose sight of the truth, a fact, or even a poorly told bad joke I am thankful they stayed with Me through some rough stretches and made other stretches tolerable and real. I am thankful they never doubted My truths, even when it seemed odds were against Me. Abd I am thankful that the word "sorry" really does carry meaning and value.
:: I am thankful for what is referred to as good health. I may doubt it's that good but, hey, here I still am despite coughs, colds, and voodoo dolls
:: I am thankful for the friends and people I have known who have left Us, by choice or by God's will. You remain in My thoughts, some more than others, but each memorable in their own way to Me. In 2014 and beyond.
:: I am thankful for the risks and chances I took. Ohh, I admit I haven't always been thankful. The travels, the calls, the riskque e-mails, and so on. At the end of the year, I would do them all again. Because memories..and not anger or fustration...should last a lifetime. And because, in some cases, once is never enough.
:: I am thankful for the things that have quietly kept Me sane, kept Me going, inspired Me, and just made Me smile. From goofy notes to underwire to canoli to cleavage to frozen cams to the 11 o'clock train I can't thank you enough because the words would fail me and I believe Alt has a word limit anyway
:: Lastly, I am thankful for the "regulars" who stop in every now and then and write and share a note laughing, chastizing, or wondering what I REALLY meant by that lol. Be it one comment a year or 100, not one has ever been ignored, dismissed, or rejected. I have been blessed with your patience, tolerance, and thoughts. I only hope that, in 2014, I helped you to think, laugh, react, smile, or even feel the emotional side run wild for a few seconds.
To one and all, be you Dominant, submissive, Switch, dazed and confused or just here for a ride....a Happy New Year filled with all you need...and a spare tank for the bumpy times!!

Take a minute to remember those who have "gone on" before U/us, especially parents, siblings, and friends...to remember those who will spend this day alone and/or in the pain of loneliness and despair....and take time to remember the men and women who are spending the day working so that many of U/us can enjoy the holidays
From My hole in the wall to Y/yours...a blessed and healthy Christmas!!
