Why do I get an urge to do Maths when I'm drunk or even tipsy, /sci/?

I love Maths, but when I'm drunk or tipsy I get a serious urge to bust open a textbook and study Maths.

Is there a scientific explanation for this?

This board is why i no longer hate maths. I literally replaced vidya with differential equations now.

OP here.

You replaced vidya with Maths? Isn't vidya way more exciting and enjoyable?

Now, don't get me wrong, I know that solving Maths equations is a somewhat 'addictive' feeling, but video games were created to be enjoyable. Maths wasn't,

Even before I came on this board I got bored with vidya. Usually after 3 days of playing or so. If vidya is meant to be enjoyable, it's as temporary as some psychedelic.

Some people derive enjoyment from deepening their understanding of the inner workings of the universe?

Hey friend. Maths grad student here. You see, once you get past babby's first calculus three, things called "proofs" start showing up.

You don't have certain inhibitions when you're drunk. To an extent, you become more creative and in my opinion, mathematics goes hand in hand with creativity. I do a lot of drunk programming and this is how I feel about it anyway.

Implying there are no post-grad professionals who drink everyday. Lurk more.

Solving equations is proving something.

>>7946865
Solving equations is just plugging n chugging. Proving why a statement has its solution is different.

If you feel uncertain while doing stuff, alcohol helps. It lowers the self esteem barriers. That's why quiet people can get talkative drunk. Similarly your uncertainty about math goes away. Math can really make people anxious you know.

There are also grad students who unironically wear fedoras, but I think most of them are old enough not to believe that either of these things helps their research
