Funny, I know....but like after a have a drink I concentrate amazingly well... but WHY?! It doesnt make sense drinking like kills brain cells and should do the exact opposite. I dont mean like drinking till I'm drunk...I mean like one drink.

Actually, in small doses, alcohol can have a calming, yet mentally stimulating effect. Relaxes your body, but stimulates your mind...I'm getting thirsty just thinking about it....

Don't mean to be Freudian, here, but I really believe this! I always had such a strong critical Super-ego, it canceled out a lot of what I wanted to do/learn. Through therapy, I was able to defuse those old messages of criticism, build my ego to a healthy state, and then was much more able to self-actualize!! Didn't have to depend upon alcohol to de-commission my super-E!! I am able to concentrate for longer-and more productive periods of time now.

could be several explainations...
people who drink frequently can experience alcohol withdrawl, which is "cured" by taking in some alcohol...
could be all in your head.. ;-) giving yourself a reason to take a drink...

one drink probably calms your nerves enough so you can focus better...slows your mind down a bit. i understand.
