So I just played some SC while drunk. I've played SC while drunk before, but I decided this time to go ahead and make a poll and maybe get a little feedback to the question: Do you play better when drunk? I'm not talking a little tipsy, I'm talking drunk. Staggering, unfocused, drunk. I actually played better. I was on complete autopilot. My mechanics were crazy good. My game sense was kinda shitty. Whatever.

I'm still kind of drunk. Oh and of course, if you've got a good drunk BW story, feel free to tell it.

Poll: Do you play better or worse when drunk?

My play (as well as my manner) go wayyyyy down when I am drunk. I like playing drunk because I have a lot of false confidence. Usually just go try to play something like 3v3 FMP and just try crazy cheese strategies.

Well I've only tried it once. It felt like I was playing crazy fast, multitasking so well. But then I noticed there were idle drones at each of my bases and my mineral counter was 4 digits. It does feel nice though, not caring at all what happens.
No I'm never serious.

It all depends on HOW drunk, but i actually play better when i'm "normal-drunk". I don't get nervous at all, i'm extremely calm and as with LordWeird, i get a ton of false confidence which is actually really good. Normally when i play i play too fast for my head and i have been doing that since i started, it's impossible for me to stop this, as soon as i slow down when not drunk i start to think about random shit that makes me forget all about the game.

So yeah, i actually play better drunk, but i'm only D+ to begin with, so..

I'm the other way around. I'm too lazy to utilize 300 apm but I type like crazy and get randomly super BM, which I of course regret later on.

i just get worse, but one of my friends actually plays a little faster with the first few shots... so we both take a shot after each game and see when we level out (i start out better, so we actually get pretty close after about 3-4 shots.

You should watch the replay. Your idea of being "better" was probably blinded by the alcohol and you actually probably sucked ass. lol

I should ask if I play better when NOT stoned. Pretty much every single time I log onto iccup to play, im already baked, or in the process of getting baked. In the last 5years i've played maybe 10 games while not stoned.

I did consider that maybe my being drunk was clouding my judgment of my level of play but honestly, I looked at the replay and my mechanics were just much better. I was a total idiot about timings and all that but my mechanics were very good. I've played with a pretty high APM and in the exact same way for years and years so I guess that when I'm drunk it's the same was when I'm very tired; my muscle memory just kind of takes over and I go apeshit on my keyboard and bash out a billion APM and perfect macro and micro while moving out at the absolute worst time and all sorts of other dumb shit. Lol.

I play with a couple shots in me before I go out, and sometimes after I get home-- I attack a lot more often (probably because of the false confidence LordWeird was talking about), but I misclick a lot, I think. My play is really confusing too... Especially my layout. Those supplies go all over the fucking base. I once walled in with 5 depots and a barracks for "extra safety."

if I have a shot or a beer I play all fast and aggressive. But once I get a too drunk I just get bored and fuck around. I don't like playing drunk.

I've played when completely hammered a few times, every time I played pretty terribly and didn't even enjoy it that much, I'll probably never do it again.

Playing whilst high however is a whole different story, makes it more enjoyable and doesn't affect my skills too badly, at least not until I've been playing and smoking for hours and I'm totally and completely baked.

LoL Ever since I was getting high back in HighSchool, I've always marveled at how loadies NEVER fail to think Marijuana makes them better at things. It's a halluciniation. From the very start, I'd notice how my friends would says stupid shit like "man I really get into it" or "I really just zone out, and I'm like THERE man"... Really? Are you serious? Like "oh... I'm such a good driver when I'm high don't worry"... 10 minutes later the dude is drifting accross the yellow line slouched over the steering wheel, staring blankly ahead with the mouth hanging open. Trust me... its an illusion that youre better at shit, you just like being high.
