Alcohol has improved my game!

I know it sounds wierd, & there's not a huge amount of data to support, but following my recent ... ahem... interestingly losing streak, I'm somewhat innebriated tonight & I seem to be making all the RIGHT decisions.

I know everyone says that alcohol fueled poker is a bank buster, but to be honest, I'm normally quite a NIT.and tonight i'm not.

Having been drinking all night, my friends left & I decided to start playing with the last of my bankroll, before topping it up.
As it is, I've been making all the right calls & folds & in less than 3 hours I've over tripled my B/R.

Does anyone else share this wierdness, or is the concensus that I'm having a flukey night rather than my looser (loose not lose!)  self making winning decisions?

really appreciate any feedback from players who have shared my experience..

- anyway....back to my beer ... lol

    Nah, it was an MTT. I cam 1st. remarkably quickly.

    I'm now on a cash table & in less thwn 15 mins I have over twice what I started with!!!

    perhaps it's a fluke? but I'm keeping going.

    for tonight at least.....

    Playing whilst drinking is fine...

    Playing whilst drunk is easy....

    Playing paraletic is when the problems start !!!!

    Alcohol has turned me into a winning player.....

    I give it freely to all my mates at the home games, whilst I am consuming a cup of tea.

    on topic, i agree with Dohhhhhhh, playing drunk is easier than it should be, and reviewing the hand history sober makes me realise i play good drunk too!

    But... ONCE YOU CROSS THE LINE PAST THE 10TH PINT OR SO, AND THE SCREEN GETS BLLLLLLLLLLLURRRRRRRRRRRRYYYY. IT IS TIME TO STOP!!!

    I think a drink or two does little harm, and can loosen up a few players that play too tightly for online blinds structires. However, a drink or 2 and drunk is very different. 
    Also...sober, would you carry on playing once you had tripled your bankroll?

    I had my best result ever on a Bank Hol w/end. I had been out all day drinking with the lads on a Sunday, and as there was no work the following day, carried on drinking Sunday evening.

    Also IMHO, if you have 'had a few', you can just laugh off the maniac plays that normally KO you from a game. If sober, they hurt more?

    Each to his own though.
