Just curious how many people out there study and then have a drink to settle down… now the kicker you still pass the exam?

Currently drinking after a narrow pass! Plus tomorrow is my B-day so I am having an early celebration which won't be repeated until Saturday after 8hrs of straight studying!!!! And then the family celebration of my Bday…and drinking!!! Then back to NO drinking until after exam day! After Sat. I can only drink again after my exam and then again on score release day…

Once in a great while I drink after studying or a bad day to wind down but I have a problem of getting hyper when I

drink : ( This means no using drinking as a relaxation tool…instead I have to drink chamomile tea after studying : (

However, I do drink while studying on occasion because sometimes I just need to unwind!

I typically had a beer almost every night. Granted, I spent the summer studying with no other commitments.

Beer is always good! But I tried not to drink on the weeknights.

I usually have to pound coffee to stay awake and study after I get home from work, get kids fed and in bed, etc. It's not at all uncommon to drink a beer or two after studying to try to counteract the coffee, relax, and get a couple hours of sleep just to do it all again the next day. Probably not the best/healthiest way to do it, but it's worked so far – 2 for 3 on my tests!

I used to (sometimes!) have a glass of wine or a beer when I studied. I kept it to one at a time, though.

Seriously, though, if I'm inside studying on the Fourth of July, you best BELIEVE I had a beer in my hand. I had to celebrate somehow 🙂

I quit drinking during the week. Although that was mainly because I get up early for work. But on the weekends I'll usually have a few beers after studying. Sometimes I'll start drinking the first one during the last 30 minutes or so of my study session.

Did it all the time man! Obviously not over the top tipsy but beer helped me rid stress from the day at night to study. And I passed all parts first try.
