Are you asking about The Balmer Peak?
>Is booze for programmers like spinach for Popeye? The Ballmer Peak, a reference to Steve Ballmer of Microsoft, holds that imbibing alcohol improves cognitive ability, up to a point–a variation of the Yerkes-Dodson law, which shows a correlation between arousal and performance. Anecdotal evidence suggests that optimal programming occurs about two beers in. But what sayeth science?
>A recent study at the University of Illinois tested the creative problem solving ability of a group of men who were given vodka cranberry and snacks and asked to solve brain teasers. The results were starkly different for the tispy group, which had a blood alcohol concentration level of 0.075, versus the control group:
>Astonishingly, those in the drinking group averaged nine correct questions to the six answers correct by the non-drinking group. It also took drunk men 11.5 seconds to answer a question, whereas non-drunk men needed 15.2 seconds to think. Both groups had comparable results on a similar exam before the alcohol consumption began.
>The study notes that the Ballmer Peak effect was present for creative problem solving but not for working memory. So drink up, coders. Just stay off Twitter.

Far too low.
>The Ballmer Peak - Steve Ballmer of Microsoft discovered a correlation between cognitive ability, creativity, problem solving, and performance after you indulge in an alcohol beverage and are in the 0.129% - 0.138% BAC range. This sweet spot is known as the Ballmer Peak.

wouldn't the benefit from being a little buzzed come from the fact that the person would be more relaxed?

Perhaps but there are many ways of being relaxed but I've never heard anyone say they were going to smoke a bowl and write some code.

The government is having a hard time hiring coders because they don't pass the drug tests from smoking too much weed. It's especially bad for security jobs. Also, you don't smoke weed for sure

Tons of them. And they all say it makes you retarded.

Personally I don't think the studies have been refined enough.
