Being under the influence sounds like a counter-intuitive way to get work done, but recent studies have shown that drinking and working might actually be a great hack!

1. Bringing creativity to solve your problems

So maybe we should be brainstorming solutions in the bar instead of the conference room. 
2. It lowers your stress level
