Pool Skill vs Alcohol Intake
November 16th, 2008
There’s a curious level at which a drinker’s skill at the game of pool seems to peak disproportionately to their usual ability. It only seems to last around 12-17 minutes before the player starts to exhibit the signs of the effect wearing off (usually by flinging the ball off the table into a passer-by’s face), but during the short time frame the player has their perfect blood/booze level, they can pull of shots with minimal effort that almost always go in, much to the delight/frustration of fellow players. I’ve plotted a rough unscientific graph below describing the phenomenon.

This is a very good chart, similar to how I chart the attractivness of a woman.
