Not me!!!!!!!!!!
The shows are great no matter what!!!!!!!!

Just busting your chops a bit, Chris.
Really the two altered states should be separated for discussion purposes.
>From experience having a good alcohol buzz and being high doesn't detract my 
ability to objectively judge a show.
If anything, my senses are on a heightened level of awareness.
It's not a false sense of awareness, but a keen one.  Not much gets by me.

Getting "drunk" is another thing.
If you're really drunk, you're likely not enjoying anything around you, and 
anything around you is likely not enjoying you.
I've been 'over the line' once at a show, and while I was still able to 
enjoy what I was experiencing, I knew I wouldn't remember a thing.  Sure 
enough.
It hasn't happened since.

You sure you didn't get a contact high???
Did you have an uncontrollable urge to go get popcorn??
