Some of my finest code used to be written whilst drunk. I wrote scanners, exploits, all kinds of stuff at company kick-offs and in hotel rooms after nights out.

Some of my finest code used to be written whilst drunk. I wrote scanners, exploits, all kinds of stuff at company kick-offs and in hotel rooms after nights out. When you write code for other people to use though, it's best not to get drunk. I think drunk coding is great for hacking, not so good for production code. I'm with hcarmichel, keep it to one or two beers tops.
