Wine May Make You Smarter
Cheers! It turns out that drinking wine can stimulate your brain more than other activities like solving math problems or listening to music. Brit.Co reveals why science supports this claim.
Author of Neuroenology: How the Brain Creates the Taste of Wine, Gordon Shepherd believes that this is because "you don't just put wine in your mouth and leave it there." We should hope so, you would choke!
He states that you move the wine around in your mouth and then swallow it, a complex motor act. Drinking wine utilizes more sections of our brain as opposed to something like math which uses a much more specific part of the brain.
So if you find yourself on your day off not doing much more than day drinking in your pajamas, just remember how much work that actually is for your brain!
