My coworkers always comment that I seem "smarter" when I'm drinking with them, at conferences or when vendors are in town. I am so much more fluent after a few drinks, like 95% fluent, but I know not ...

I’ve had similar experiences on any GABA related substance to be honest. Sometimes it’s crazy how well it works. If you’re going to use them, make sure you’re doing extra socialising when sober. Try t...

Yeah absolutely. MDMA my fluency is pretty great. Cocaine it’s awful though. A light amount of cannabis seems to help. Alcohol I see no difference....

Don’t self medicate with alcohol. It’s a very slippery slope to go down. Sure, you might not be an alcoholic now, but after awhile that 1 beer won’t be enough for that level of fluency. So then you’...
