I'm wondering if alcohol shuts up the chattering left brain, and this is why 
so many creative people over the years have used alcohol (rightly or 
wrongly!) while working. Could it be that they're less judgemental of their 
work (less inhibited, for sure), and give themselves freer reign to access 
the right brain and be creative? Or am I making this theory up totally?
