According to Ryoko Iwata of the blog
I Love Coffee, the answer might be… both!
How it works: Working in conjunction, if you have the blood alcohol level of 0.07 (about the equivalent to 2 8-oz beers), your cerebral cortex, which is responsible for conscious thought, language and interaction, frees up from its normal distractions that occupy your mind and block creative thought. And BAM! You’re creative. Where does the coffee come in? Well, when adenosine binds with its adenosine receptor, you normally will feel drowsy. But, when you introduce caffeine, adenosine binds with the caffeine and 5 minutes later… BAM! You have the ability to focus and the energy to act on your ideas.
What’s the best time to drink a beer? When you’re looking for a creative thought. And the best time to drink coffee? When you have to have the stamina to execute those brilliant ideas!
So, what’s the downside? Warns Iwata, “Drink too much of either and you’ll lose the benefits of both. (Everything in moderation, folks!)
