I rarely drink (only at some special meetings or parties). Never at work, but I get a bit speedy (aka on roids) when i drink caffeine. Sometimes makes me work faster. I say sometimes, cause when I get too much caffeine I just start to rush on everything and lost my focus/concentration. 
Iāve never seen any of my abilities improved when I drink. I actually practice meditation, thatās how I improve my focus/concentration/creativity. 
sure why notā¦
I also become the worlds greatest dancer, a smooth talking criminal, and the toughest guy around, so why wouldnāt my coding get significantly better!?
I canāt work when I have been drinking. I have tried, but I get distracted way too easily.
Might I point everyone to the following: xkcd: Ballmer Peak
Alcohol is also a very good way working on stuff you really do not want to work onā¦
It strangely gives motivation where youāre bored to death.
I do not drink much then a single beer does good effect on me ^__^!.
Glad to see I am not the only folk thinking about it! 
@ Guillaume >> yeah but I drunk more than one beer during the Unite 
hahaha
From my own exeprience, during collage the toughest problems i always solved 2-3 beers in.
But it could also be that just being away from the computer that helped.
Iāll test this thoroughly to find out which was it!
I just donāt drink at all.
I also want to try coding with beer but bad luck in my State (in india) Alcohol is prohibited.
Drinking is prohibited?! What? Why?
So they can code faster and cheaper
Oh, you know maybe all the health issues it brings? Maybe that it causes the most harm to others(and self) of any drug.
Iām a hobbyist so i code only at home when i have time late at night. Sometime i tried to code after a restaurant. And i noticed that even with one beer or a little wine (France oblige) my skills droped down significantly.
Ahaha wonderful!!!
Yes its Against the rule. So many people get liquor illegaly, but you dont know its original or duplicate. If its duplicated then you will get side-effect for that (in rare cases).
Apparently, Adobe worked drunken for a lot of time - at least for what concerns Flash. Unity - sunsetting Flash
Tried sometimes to work while drunk, but it doesnāt work to me. I just lose interest very quickly, and get tired while trying to solve the simplest problems. Alcohol and computers do not match in my brain.
Time for a beer!
Cheers!
Back in the 90ās I co owned a small game studio and we did all our design work in the pub. I wasnāt a programmer back then so I canāt say Iāve ever tried programming and drinking, but for game design it worked really well
