Agreed. I find even a beer or two throws me off. However, when I need to write emails or some more social, less technical thing, a couple beers makes me way more productive. I think because I tend to waffle on verbiage and think things like, "no, that sounds condescending and I don't mean it to be, backspace" I find a little alcohol brings the "fuck it, send" threshold close enough to be productive at something I'm kind of bad at sober.
