I have coworkers who can't drink and work at all. Personally, I find 1-2 drinks has no effect on my work. I think at low enough levels it just depends on the person, but as you drink more you tend to overestimate the quality of your thoughts.
I agree with those who have pointed out that a boozy environment can alienate non-drinkers. As much as I enjoy a beer at the end of a shift, it's probably inappropriate on most teams. On your own, though, go for it if you want. Just be prepared to fix the code tomorrow if you have more than a couple. 🙂

Thanks for commenting, Brian!
Exactly, with alcohol I have confidence that I can finish the work. So if I could not finish, I tend to burn out.
Hahaha, I must have extra time to solve bugs after drinking! Thanks.
