I don't drink but as someone who does calligraphy as a hobby, I can attest to the calming effect that the smell of inks and paper, the sound of a nib scratching, the slightly embossed letters on paper after writing etc. have on ones state of mind. It's very relaxing and the outputs are very rewarding. Doubly so if you're in tech. This is almost the complete opposite.
