When I get drunk, and I''m at home, I attempt to do some programming because I''ve heard that some people actually end up doing better stuff than when their sober. I find that when I''m drunk, I can''t even look at a computer screen. It''s too blurry, and then I have a sudden urge to hit on some random girl so I get up off the computer. Does anyone have the same problem? Or am I a freak?

I never drunk too much beer to get drunk, but, after a beer or two, I can program. Only that my programming is a little more ''reckless'', that is, I tend to write code that WORKS, but, if I look at the code a week later, I don''t understand anything...

I open my compiler, get drunk, pass out on the keyboard, and when I wake up, compile what I "wrote." The last time I did this I ended up with something that looked like Doom III.

You have random girls in your house?

Heh... I''m just the same.

No way I could be able to code something good when I''m drunk. And I too feel stronger urge to hit on some... random girl.

I always do some lightwave when I''m stoned, because I become very artistic when I''m stoned. I only get drunk at nights, and then I go to bed immediately when i get home

Damn stoner. You need to get yourself drunk and quit that shit before something else fucks up your life.

Beer fuelled coding always needs a sprig of parsely

I''ve been coding since 1PM (it''s 10PM now).

So I figure I''d drink some beer afterwards instead.

Mostly because I''ve got this terrible flue, beer makes it all go away ^__^

But actualy I havn''t coded this much in AGES!

If I am drunk and the computer falls into my line of sight, I think carefully and play guitar instead.
