Im not trying to be out of line or anything I just want to know other peoples opinions. I myself love to drink while I code, it makes it much more fun plus im usually more creative when im drinking. Does anyone else feel the same or am I just a drunk?

i know a girl that becomes, lets call it "excited", when she sees sexy code :)


i never code when i'm drunk, because it's hard to hit the right keys :) or i fail to notice i broke things and then people start complaining :p

on the other hand, the last time i was drunk was on 2003-09-28. And i would love to keep it that way :)

Shiz you're so weird :-)

In a cool sorta way.

I do agree though...

Thing is... I always end up fixing mistakes the next day.

You like to intoxicate your body do you? :P

I drank a few once, then went coding.

Looked at it next day, and thought WTF???? The funniest part is, it worked...I still ended up re-writing that bit because the mate that was working with me on the project said he'd smack me upside the head if I didn't. I never drunk and code again.

I enjoy coding as much as the next person...well maybe some of you don't enjoy it because it's your job.

I can't imagine feeling like coding after getting my drink on, either I'm ready to pass out in my bed, perform the hippy twirl dance, or go out for a good drive* and enjoy the night.

I have enough problems coding sober ;) Now, coding on meth or coke, that would be something I could do! I'd have my forum board completed in no time.

*I never get wasted, just a good feeling, never drink more than 6 or so beers (190 lbs.)

Maybe a glass of single malt on rare, very rare occassions. Coding & drinking is like driving & drinking: you're much safer if you don't. The difference: I haven't heard of anyone being overrun by a class.

Never tried because well I would to worried about hitting an error and spilling my drink on my lp.
Playing driving games on a console while drunk, now that's some good fun, and quite sobering the next day 8O :?

Funny though I have never woken up in a pile of my own sick in the morning, but then agian it doesn't sound all that much fun.

btw, the while (foo = bar) is usually a source for mistakes :)

(assignment vs comparison)

I prefer the company of a female or the boys instead of a PC and a PHP editor when drinking. :wink:
