To make a formal reply.

I drink 10+ drinks at least a once a week. I typically play BETTER when slightly drunk. My friend who is a very solid HE player plays his best when stoned. Don't make large judgements.

I would say it depends on one thing: Are you someone who drinks a bit then cannot control himself? Or are you someone that controls himself and his alcohol well?

For the record, 3 shots and a beer wouldn't even get me a bit tipsy.
