It doesn't do me any good, just makes me too belligerent.

I believe Tal and other alcoholic GMs study and trained during the day. Its more fun to get drunk in the night 😎

Alcohol is poison.
If you drink enough water, it will kill you.
When you eat apples, during digestion cyanide is released (a deadly poison).
Other fruits and vegetables give you formaldehyde, which is very toxic.
This is to say, the chemical itself, without giving the amount, actually doesn't matter. If the amount is small enough or large enough, anything can be safe or toxic.

Neat, never heard of this guy 
I was actually at a party Yesterday where I got pretty drunk even though I only came in with enough cash to buy myself a single drink. My secret? I challenged the people at the party to play chess against me, the wager :the loser pays for the drinks. Six rounds later I stood undefeated sipping on my whiskey on rocks and feeling like the king of the hill ;)
Look at the greatest chess player ever--Mikhail Tal. Why study? He was drunk 100% of the time. I trained him. You want to play good? Get drunk.
