I think you've nailed it, Roark. It tend to be rather conservative when fighting battles, and alcohol seems to relax me enough to try more unorthodox tactics. And yes, playing while completely sloshed is ill-advised. (I only did it once, with rather interesting - not to mention humorous - results.)

Well put.

"What the hell was I thinking?" is usually the first thing that goes through my head after nights like that. That, and "How on earth did I do that??"
