Alcohol & English: Why You Speak Better After a Drink?

• A study in the Journal of Psychopharmacology found mild alcohol consumption improves foreign language speaking skills.
• Alcohol reduces 'Language Anxiety' by making the 'Pre-frontal Cortex' sluggish, boosting confidence in speaking.
• 'Liquid Courage' from increased dopamine removes fear of grammatical errors, leading to more fluent communication.
• Mild alcohol relaxes tongue muscles, resulting in clearer and more natural English pronunciation.
• This effect is only with mild consumption; excessive alcohol causes slurred speech. Alcohol removes fear, it doesn't teach English.

Why It Matters: Alcohol doesn't teach English; it reduces fear and inhibitions, boosting confidence in speaking.
