Drinking definately can improve my playing. Just a couple of pints can loosen me up a lot more, and ideas come through that i don't even have time to think about, but just play them; and it works. It really needs to be the right amount of booze though, just a wee bit too much can fuck everything up. As keilan said, there is a perfect balance. It's a lot harder keeping that balance in the moorings when you have a discount. . .
