I've experienced the Ballmer Peak most often when gaming. I'm a good player most of the time in most games, but if I hit just the right amount of intoxication I reach a whole other level. It's like being in a flow state for head shots. I'm guessing the mechanism is tamping down on anxiety and second guessing which happens. Since I've played these sorts of games for the last 20+ years, the reflexes take over and I'm thinking a lot less. The drop off post-peak is steep though.
