Astrid - The interesting thing about this is that it appears to be universally applicable across platforms. DFC, ASIH, AFS, etc, it really doesn't seem to matter. It required a considerable amount of in-depth research but I've observed the exact same effect at SCB meetings in both Africa and the UK..although it seems to be somewhat amplified with the fish folks.

Hello Phil, We should look at the effect of our favorite drinks on the productivity of scientists throughout the world. I can tell you from personal experience, that in the US, spirits consumption was positively correlated with productivity, based on my personal observations of the rum consumption of eminent Ichthyologists at meetings.
