I find that very true for most other "hobbies." All the musicians, myself included seem to think we play a little better with a few drinks in us, not to mention hit on women with less inhibition. It is synonomous with popeye's spinach.

I ran some sims and my calculations show that you guys are lightweights.

1(beer/hr)=sissy.

True Story

Several years ago, after a long hard day in the office, I took an evening flight to Vegas (from the east coast) to attend a convention starting the next day.
I was flying first class and attempted to drink the difference in fares between coach and first class with the free booze.

After checking into the Sands, I remember going to the casino, taking down a $1000.00 marker and began drinking heavily again. Thats about all I remember, except I know I had a great time,laughing and talking to the dealers and other players.

The next morning, I awoke in my room, and found 24 $1000.00 chips in my jacket pocket, a $23000.00 profit This was,by a factor of about 3, the best session I ever had.
