I honestly do play AH better when intoxicated. In fact, during the last "epic" sortie I had where people looked me up later to talk about how great it was, I was completely blitzed and didn't even remember much of what happened until reminded, even though apparently I'd gone deep into enemy territory with one or two other guys, fought about 30 bandits while helping keep the other guys alive, and fought my way back out to land a handful of kills. Of the 4 best online flightsim sorties I've ever had in 9 years of online flightsim gaming, I'd had more than just a couple of drinks before 3 of them.
I agree that drunks loudly proclaiming their drunken state are irritating, but for me and apparently for some others too, some people simply play games better after a few drinks. That's not bragging, it's just a fact.
