Ballmer Peak

A "peak" in programming or other abilities caused by alcohol. The theory is that computer programmers obtain quasi-magical, superhuman coding ability when they have a blood alcohol concentration percentage between 0.129% and 0.138%. Recent study's indicate that the effect may also spread to other skills; this has only been proven in the essay writing abilities of computer scientists.
