I’d like to see someone compare college students’ performance on important tests after, say, 0--3 drinks. If test anxiety hurts people’s scores as much as it seems to, then perhaps cheap beer will be used as a nootropic.
(A quick check on Google Scholar doesn’t show any studies that have been done on this, which isn’t surprising.)
It might be worth checking, though it would surprise me if it works. I’m betting that if alcohol improves test performance, college students would have discovered it long ago.
Thanks for the link—I didn’t realize test anxiety was that common or that there were such effective methods of treating it.
