Urbana-Champaign, Ill. -- This might be one more reason to knock back a cold one.
According to new research beer could actually make you smarter. Researchers at the University of Illinois say compared to sober folks, beer guzzlers were better at creative problem-solving tasks.
Surprisingly they were faster too, but they were worse at memory tasks.
That's because alcohol can make you forgetful.
