The power of Scotch should not be underrated. I flunked my exam the the first time around (I've always had a problem performing under test conditions, regardless of actual competence and knowledge), but passed with flying colours the second time around, fuelled by a breakfast consisting of two slices of toast, two very strong coffees and three double shots of Bowmore 17yo.

I don't think that's an incorrect presumption, at least not in a general sense. I certainly attribute my own writing skills (such as they are) to having read a ____load of well written books.
