The days of the three-martini lunch are definitively behind us, perhaps for the best.
Likewise, drinking at lunch in general has gone the same way as smoking on airplanes and thinking the world is flat, but unlike these examples, it might be making a comeback. Here’s why:
Creativity
Recent research has shown that a little libation lubricates the mind and is particularly effective at helping generate creative solutions to otherwise-vexing problems.
Much like Dali and Hemingway swore by Absinthe to help them with their art, perhaps accountants trying to find that tax loophole should turn to the Chardonnay.
Social
Teamwork makes the dream work, fact. Getting along with your colleagues is a key part of being productive and happy at work, and what better way to get along than over a beer or two at lunch?
Relax
We don’t need to tell you that stress is bad for you. It makes you sick and it makes you sad. It also inhibits your ability to think in a clear, creative way and in the end makes you worse at your job. Avoid it.
Responsible amounts of alcohol have been shown to be greatly effective at reducing stress, so have that champagne at brunch and be better!
Beer could save your life
Red wine prevents heart attacks and St. Bernards aren’t carrying brandy around for themselves. But it’s beer that has recently taken up the mantle of the healthy tipple.
New research shows that beer kills a bacteria associated with ulcers and stomach cancer.
Confidence
Dutch courage has been the motivation driving force behind millions of ill-fated ideas and tragic pick-up lines. But it isn’t always a bad idea.
The extra bump in confidence might be just what you need to make that decision, close that deal or win that client. Just don’t overdo it or you might come across less as a suave business-person and more as a sleazy second-hand car salesman
