    What was the outcome? Was your writing worse, better, or the same?

    ("...while I'm drunk I think my drunk writing style is better than when I'm sober, though when I'm sober is when I like my sober writing style then, so in all fairness let's just say that what one writes displeases one when one is not in the mood for it..." ventured the goblin in passing, knowing too that it's been many years since had let himself get drunk)

    I was able to write much better poetry (while drinking) when I was still quite young. But now that I am becoming old and quite forgetful .... :D

    I've never actually tried it. I want to. I think I might.

    A couple of drinks helps me loosen up, but any more than that and I can't form a coherent sentence. For academic writing, where I need to make reference to my sources and all that fun stuff, I try to not go past one drink.

    Yes, but I prefer to write baked. ;)
