I get better with a buzz...but it's typically short-lived.
I’ve played with guys that can’t play worth a damn without at least a buzz. Watched a guy in the Utah State Mid-Amateur last year shoot 81 in the morning (first day is 36 holes) and at lunch told his buddies fvck it I’ll have fun. Think he pounded 4 at lunch and took 10 or so with him for his second round. He shot 68 hammered that afternoon and was cracking beers open at 730am the next day after making the cut.
I can have fun drinking and playing golf….or I can play well, but I haven’t mastered how to do both.
