#2At Game Jams I would always start things off with my "2 beers, 2 coffees" method. After the theme was announced, we'd go out and discuss ideas over a few beers (just not enough to get trashed), then, come back, flesh stuff out, get our coffee and go back to work. Worked out pretty well for generating some pretty wild ideas while not making ourselves disfunctional.
Drink responsibly.

What exactly is the point of these kinds of smartass comments? Even if it were within the realm of common knowledge (which I find debatable), having a study to confirm it could still have value.
I personally didn't know that caffeine might be a problem for creativity, so I found the article interesting.

Poverty. My most recent creative streak was when I had to survive a month on 250CHF in Zürich.
