Is there a rule on here that says you have to be sober when you play?

I play better drunk than sober(which isn't saying much),

while drunk, I have the audacity to make moves I'd be too afraid to make while sober. I don't overanalyze. I am able to keep in mind that it's just a game, improving the psychological aspects of my tactics

plus, being drunk is great.

I think you can figure out why this loss occurred. http://www.chess.com/echess/game.html?id=47291309

Well I probably couldn't play any worse after having a drink or two... might need to give it a try.

I never drink to get drunk, cannot handle the hang-over the next work day, but with that said I love   that feeling the first drink gives you and relax just right not too complacent. One time I was forced to do some public speaking, on a stage, podium, spot light, well I was so nervous, but I made it through. The next time I had to do this, trying not to be  nervous, I had a couple scotch, I was not nervous in the least, could hardly remember my name. So do not drink, drive and play chess at the same time! lolo Hay bartender Trysts, I'll have a Bud regular please.

This is a very important thread. It means a lot to me.

just ask dart players if they play better half pissed or a nervous wreck being sober, and hit the score keeper in the back with a dart or two
