There is pretty good literature about this. Not that Wikipedia is good literature, but it's convenient:

I had a colleague who was pretty bright, but he couldn't pass his specialty boards exam. We finally talked to him about his study habits, and figured out he would always study while sipping a glass (or more) of wine. No, we didn't tell him to take the exam while drunk. We told him to stop drinking while studying, and he immediately passed the next time through.

 

I guess this is a slightly better source:
