According to the results of the experiments, people who consume alcohol after the training, learn new material better than those who did not drink at all.
Scientists from Exeter University have shown that alcohol actually improves memory, and this is true even for uncontrolled drinking at home. According to the results of the experiments, people who consume alcohol after the training, remember the material better than those who did not drink at all. The article was published in Scientific Reports.
