      By: Madelyn Cooper      Being a high teacher isn't for the weak, which is why four teachers use drinking as a way to cope and handle the stress, but also to test the hypothesis of Norwegian Psychiatrist Finn Skarderud in that humans are born was 0.05% blood alcohol level to low, he claims that people are more naturally relaxed and poised at this level.      In the movie Another Round, directed by Thomas Vinterberg.
