Alcohol and weed can be used as a nootropic supplement.

I had to look up "nootropic". Not a word I've ever seen, but, I like it! I always thought my friends Jack Daniels and Ezra Brooks increased my cognitive powers!

Somebody must have screwed up and forgot to add the word to the Presidential Library. But then, if one doesn't like to read, a President would likely miss it anyway. ;-)

Believe it or not I am kind of serious about this but also self aware about how ridiculous it sounds. The thing to understand is that even though alcohol and weed (to a lesser extent when it comes to weed) impair left-brained thinking, they actually increase right-brained creativity. Over-consumption of alcohol will not help you, but if you consume just the right amount it creates a sort of "flow" in your thought process that is related to how it lowers inhibition. In other words, alcohol can "cure" writers block and other creative blocks, and as a creative writer I have personal experience that confirms this. As for weed, it causes you to use neuropathways that you don't normally use and can help you have ideas you wouldn't otherwise have.

Hello hater:

When seeking the "right amount" of alcohol to consume, it's easy to fly right past that threshold and turn into a raging, mean, sloppy, alcoholic. Given your general demeanor here, it looks you zip by the "right amount" continuously.

Next time, try Quaaludes. It does the same thing, and your breath don't stink.
