You know, I always bowled better drunk. I was in a league once. it was a handicap league and my average was like 95. And I played on one of the best teams - due to my huge handicap. I'd start out terrible and sober, and by the end of the game I was walking sideways and could barely see down the lane. But somehow I always bowled at least 95 (usually over 100). Which gave cover for the (much) better players to have a bad night and still keep the team's rating.
I was lots of fun.

- rewind 13y agoApplies to golf and pool for me. But I start off as a bit better than average while sober, in the zone at four or five beers, then I fall off a cliff after that. Relaxation and looseness apparently have a very narrow maximum window of effectiveness while drinking. Go past it, and you're hosed (but I always had fun getting there).
- stevekemp 13y ago> You know, I always bowled better drunk. Me too. Snooker/Pool is also better. At the start of the night I'm sober and play a fair game, but at the end of the night after two/three pints I'm doing consistently and considerably better. I keep meaning to take a night of not-drinking to see if is the beer that is responsible, of if it is just because I only carry out these activities every few months and I need a bit of time to relax and get back into the swing of things..
