Coffee vs. beer: Which drink makes you more creative?

Slightly unrelated: this post seemed eerily familiar, so I googled the first sentence and realized why: it was posted on Medium, too. (https://medium.com/what-i-learned-today/f7fcb3b786b1)

This is, I think, the chief issue with services like Posthaven, Medium, and Svbtle: by buying into the centralized platform, it means that you're putting your valuable content on some other service instead of using it to further your personal/corporate brand. The simple solution is to repost it, but that leads to the same issues GameFAQs faced with popular titles released on multiple platforms: when the network is split, the network effect weakens and the discourse suffers.

This makes some sense. On personal experience, alcohol can facilitate group discussions too. It's social, everyone talks open ideas, and can stretch a little more. But it's much worse for deep thinking. It's also worse for thinking 2nd or 3rd order effects. (Or consequences)

Coffee is great for productivity, but it's very much a "Stay on target... Stay on target..." type of drink for me.

This is somewhat consistant with the article.

Beer with coffee in it. Problem solved!

If you want creativity nothing beats Cannabis.

But between the two definitely beer.

Beer, IMO. Sometimes you need to forget the status quo and dream....
