i know a lot of people who say they drive better if they've been drinking too. Doesn't mean it's accurate.
- prodigal_erik 10y agoAlcohol definitely blunts fast reflexes. If it also hinders coding, it's not for the same reason. If I had to guess, a little could fix anxiety and perfectionism, while a lot will leave you too incoherent to make something work at all.
- TeMPOraL 10y ago> If I had to guess, a little could fix anxiety and perfectionism This is exactly what happens to me, so I sometimes will code after a bottle of beer or a glass of whiskey. But it has to be little - more alcohol and I start losing focus.
