If I'm playing at a bar sure I'll have a beer, maybe two, but thats it. I need to be sober to play well.

Of course, this is not true for a lot of other guitarists. Its amazing how many shred guitarists (real good players, I won't mention names though), when playing bars, will have 3 or 4 beers before they even start playing, and then will have another between every song. Very nice guitar players (in a few cases, players that I know, but are simply too drunk to remember me) turn into assholes, who can't even figure out where the table setup with their cds to be sold are (so I can buy them and support their habits of course)..
