  • 摘要:Creativity is always associated with those individuals who are in normal condition. Moreover, creativity is commonly linked with the intellectually and technically superior individuals. It is unfamiliar to many that people who are intoxicated with alcohol could also produce amazing and wonderful things. This qualitative study aimed to determine the first-hand experiences of intoxicated individuals in relation to their creativity. It also sought answers to the reasons why the participants intoxicate themselves; what creative things the participants could perform when they were drank; and what significant experiences they could share to others. This qualitative-phenomenological study purposively chose five self-confessed drunkards. In-depth interviews were to gather pertinent information. Results of the study implicate that different individuals have their own personal reasons why they drink alcoholic beverages; thus, we should not judge them according to our bias. Drunkards have their own story to tell and they need our ears to listen to them. Their experiences have given us the idea that there are people who need the help the spirit of alcohol in order to perform or deliver their tasks. For them, alcohol is a catalyst, fuel, friend, and companion. May be intoxicated beverages do not give these drunkards creativity but boost of confidence to be daring, to be bold, to be dauntless, and to be courageous. But whatever it is, they drink because they want to express their inner self and their secret desire. Not everyone is gifted with self-confidence.
