I do have to have a bit of lager in me to help me get into the groove. I had a bad experience thought at my second ever show where I started completely sober and was completely ripped off the free drinks 6 tracks later. Not good. I barely made it through that set, I literally got down out of the booth and hurled everywhere on the floor, and it still stands as the worst gig I’ve ever played. Now I have a strict 1 pint per hour limit- enough to have a nice buzz going, but not so much I can’t play properly.
