According to a recent study, drinking vodka may actually improve word association and verbal creativity. Apparently those who walked the line between intoxicated and legally drunk were able to respond nearly 4 seconds quicker than their sober counterparts when shown a series of three-word puzzles and asked to find a word that linked the three words on each occasion.
The research, conducted at the University of Illinois at Chicago, showed that sober individuals take a more deliberative approach to word association, which results in a slower response time. One of the researchers, Jennifer Wiley, even related the findings to increased creativity for artists and musicians, stating: “A composer or artist fixated on previous work may indeed find creative benefits from intoxication.”
Drinking: the key to success. Of course, the long-term ramifications of substance abuse tends to work out pretty poorly.

So you want to be a Pokemon Master? Redditor Menace64 created a drinking board game based on the first generation of Pokemon Games. The game is simple and easy to follow (a big plus for drinking games), requiring players to partake in actions directed by the squares they land on. Just like the video games, each player starts off by picking a starter Pokemon and ends with battling the Elite Four, Gary, and Mewtwo. Special dungeon areas are also included where the stakes are higher. The most recent version of the game is v1.3, with possible updates in the future. Menace64 has stated that he also plans to create a Johto version.

Blade Runner fans might recognize this whiskey glass, but it isn’t a cheap reproduction. It’s made of mouth-blown crystal by the artisans at boutique Italian company, Arnolfo di Cambio—exactly like the glasses used in the film.
