I'm able to line shit up better and make things sound better when im messed up because I think I'm more in tune with the music. If I'm at home by myself, I just don't seem to be able to get into my little groove and tear shit up. Since I'm like a few of the people here, a drinking machine, I'd say about 6 and I'm feeling a little buzzed, but by the time I get to 10 (this is if I'm slamming them, which I do when I'm having a good time), the beat matching just doesn't seem important any more :P

When I get really smashed, This happens to me alot, I'll start to mix into the next track, have it lined up great and bring it back to the same track, or I'll forget which deck I just finished with and hit cue on the wrong deck and kill the music lol

I can mix pretty well drunk; however, this one time I was on some 1200 Mk2s and kept hitting the power dial. I would keep brushing the platter trying to speed it up, but my efforts were futile as the record would slow down again.

Every time this happened it took me a bit to realize the red light was off, and another minute to figure out how to turn it back on.

Originally posted by Tony Morello just like in the 320 vs wav thread just because you can't do it doesn't mean other people can't after working in the nightclub industry for years, playing drunk is comfortable and the results aren't what you'd think i have recorded sets and mix cds both after drinking and sober, my drunk cds are tighter and flow well when i'm sober i start thinking, not always about djing and tend to be a little sloppy after a few drinks in me, i can get into the music and start getting into a solid groove everything just happens, it's second nature now

amen to that

I find that when it comes to booze, as long as im not having trouble standing up Im fine to mix. However, give me a spliff and it all goes to pot, doubly so if Im pissed.
