Nope, but then again I’ve never imbibled. ---

I was out on a pub crawl, and had drank (amongst other things) a pint of red wine, as a dare. I was fucked. There was no way I could go to bed, so decided to browse the dope. A 2 sentence message took me 30 minutes to type. ---

I have never posted drunk because I drink relatively lightly, but I am pretty sure I have posted in the middle of the night under the influence of ambien. I can’t say for sure because of the curious things it does to my memory. But occasionally some of the mundane things I think I did in a dream, I really did do awake. ---

Nope. When i drink it is 2 occasionally 3 beers. That does not reach that level. ---

Yep, once, it was my first OP, seamed like an amusing idea at the time. Gave it up after that, although may have been close in a few of the wine related threads ---

I went with the latter, but it isn’t entirely true: I’m not underage, but I am not medically allowed to drink. Not that I really want to, but hey. ---

No. But I’ve only been here three months. Maybe if I go to another wine pairing party… ---

Ha ha. I am now. Actually, in my very first post to the SDMB, I was three sheets to the wind. ---

Once, and I was drunk to the point of falling from my chair drunk - and I refuse to link to the post because it may have been one of my better efforts. When I go past the “one beer in an hour” stage I tend to get very quiet and deliberate in anything I do. I don’t loosen up when I drink - I get tighter when I get tight. ---

It’s true. Folks, if it’s past 8:00 PM, you’d better believe I’ve been drinking. If you want to know if my post was drunk or not, check the time stamp. I’m currently maing dinner and rocking out to Stevie Wonder and Jameson. It’s before 8:00 here, but it’s the weekend. It’s okay if I start in the afternoon. ---

Well I voted when I was sober, but I am now posting when I’m drunk. Does that count? ---

No, I don’t rink and post. My typing is already bad enough. ---

I think the better question is, have you ever posted while you’re _sober_. But yes, I’m guilty of drinking and posting. As far as I know, I don’t think I’ve said anything I wouldn’t while sober. There have been a few times where I had to search my recent posts after attacking a bottle of liquor, though. ---

I usually come on board when I’m way too tired, which in my case is just as bad. Maybe worse. I’d probably write better with a few drinks in me. ---
