🎧 Does alcohol really unlock creativity — or is that just a myth we love to romanticize?

- How alcohol actually slows memory, focus, and problem-solving — the stuff you need to finish creative work
- The truth behind the “alcoholic genius” stereotype in art and history
- Smarter ways to unlock flow and inspiration without a drink
- How ingredients like Vitamin B1 and L-Theanine (found in Daily Restore) can support energy, focus, and calm — fueling creativity naturally
