Alcohol and creativity: a pilot study
Pages 147 - 154
Abstract
In this paper, we describe the design, execution, and results of a study of the effects of alcohol consumption on creativity. We are specifically interested in myths surrounding alcohol and creativity; one's view of self as a creative being; and the effects of alcohol on inhibition and perception of creativity.
