is it really playing drunk a good option?

much has been discussed (drunk people tend to be too repetitive, somehow), nothingh clearly settled...

I have tried it, Personally not a good method, I forget to move lol!!!

Doubt it

to doubt is the path to any new knowdleadge..well said Deathwish..wise man..;-)

..so this is the next strategical oriented step to just a simple "waiting move"..yes, much better simply to stop moving at all..." what now hey, what YOU gonna do bout THIS??"..sounds good...i'lltry

Thanks LongIslandMark but that alone does not prove much..it is crystal clear ST Patrick is too parcial about sober chess players games...

I have no idea as to what you meant to say but what I meant to say is I just end up staring at the board thinking all kinds of variation but in reality I never move a piece lol!  J

If Ernest Hemmingway, alcoholic author of renown hadn't blown his brains out with a shotgun, I'm sure he could attest to the advantages of doing challenging activities while drunk.

Perhaps there is some cocktail of drugs, very difficult to achieve, that makes you play better than Bobby Fisher.

Peyote + Alcohol + Marijuana + B12 + caffinated beverages + concentrated valarian and scullcap.   I cannot attest to this because I haven't used drugs for decades, so I might not be remembering it clearly :-)

No, it's not a good option...hic! OMG I lose my Queeeenn!

i only play drunk

Depends on what you are trying to achieve. I have never met anyone who was a better player being drunk as compared to staying sober. Especially in the long run...

Does that make you the coveted Drunken Master?

This means that if you are not drunk, your winning rate will go up around major holidays.

It's perfectly fine...as long as your oponent is also drunk.

You will not be alert=many loses

thanks Natalia, but as John Maynnard Keynnes brilliantly marked, in the long run we all wil be dead, so ...

Tal thought it was a good idea.

Yes. It is a good option for the opponent.

yes, Misha Tal, i was about to mention..
