Re: Do you play drunk?
Wow, such zealousness! It almost makes me want to replace my avatar and signature with a good ol' "Mmmmm, beer is good"...
My name is Gijs, from Utrecht, NL.
When in doubt, play the most aggressive move

Re: Do you play drunk?
I remember someone (famous, but unfortunately I don't remember who) once stated something along these lines:
"everything is toxic, it's only a matter of dose"
I believe it is pretty much correct.
PS Do you mean Talisker? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talisker)

I've heard this is something of a motto for pharmacology students

Re: Do you play drunk?
I know a german 4-dan player who drinks every evening at the go-club (once or twice a week) 2x 0,5L beer. When playing him I somehow have the feeling that the more he drinks the better he plays 
Maybe we should all drop the drinker-discussion and try to have some entertaining conversation. I still have an ace-story up in my sleeves but it feels to embarassing to tell

Do tell, do tell!
Re: Do you play drunk?
No, kinda depressing sitting in front of the PC playing baduk drunk! I rather drink when going out or something.
Check out learnbaduk.com for reviews, tutorials and other stuff.

Re: Do you play drunk?
I don't think I ever played while drunk, but I've played while high and all the concepts like thickness and influence seemed much more intuitive and visually obvious. I'm pretty sure I played above my usual level.
I have lost in a drinking contest to a fellow Go player though. Next time I'll be better prepared!

Re: Do you play drunk?
I don't get drunk often, but when I am drunk I often do the following:
1.) Try to get the attention of other people.
2.) Try to say funny things.
3.) Do pushups. I'm not sure why I do this. Maybe it's because it doesn't hurt as much when I do them for awhile(?).
If I do anything related to go, it is typically kibitzing.
Maybe I will have to try playing the next time I drink.

Any prediction when that might happen?
