When you're drunk and tired enough where you are nodding off at the computer. Nothing like cruising low sec and hitting the warp button and nodding off mid-warp, only to wake up 5 minutes later sitting at the other gate uncloaked... waking up JUST barely in time enough to warp before the incoming pirate locks you.

In the cat-and-mouse game that is low sec, there is no shame in learning to be a better mouse.

When you're drunk enough to put beer in a sodastream.

Like any other situation, it's not so much a matter of your ability to function while you're intoxicated, but rather your capability for living with the shame resulting from your actions.

I don't know a single person that looks awesome or specially intelligent when they're drunk, so no shame. It's just your turn to look ridiculous. Lol

When you go on a late night roam deep into enemy territory during their offpeak time looking for stray ratters - accompanied by some mates & a bottle of jack...

The next morning:

You wake up on the sofe, no idea how you got there.

Your wife looks madly at you as she leaves for work.

You phone in sick.

You go into your computer room to find the bottle of Jack, empty.

You switch your computer on.

You get the message 'computer not shut down properly'.

You wait out scan disc, log into windows.

You open EVE to find the client corrupted, run repair tool.

You finally long into EVE to find your character is floating in space 25 hostile jumps from your home system...and it's now thier primetime.

You log out and go back to bed realising that you decided to end your play time by drunkenly switching the PC off at the wall...

Shocked

Shocked you let beer go flat?

I am disappoint.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

I'm a Guinness/rum man myself. No gas. Just trying to make him feel better about soda-streaming beer.

I'm nice that way.

I can generally drink all night and not have it affect my eve playing, though i may get overconfident etc, my coordination stays fine... It's when i turn the computer off, and go outside for a ciggie that my body suddenly decides it is entirely too drunk.

This is a very strange question.

Let me answer this way:
If you are endangered to make detrimental decisions, which you would not have done by being dry, then you are "too drunk".
And if you don't have reasonable control over yourself anymore due to alcohol, you're also "too drunk".
... "too drunk" for any action being of value.

Simply know the limit which changes your behaviour, and don't cross that line again (after discovering).

The trick practised by alcoholics everywhere is to drink more - then after a while you won't get drunk anymore, you'll need alcohol just to say sober and to keep the spiders away.

I took an Ambein after a night of drinking and woke up the next morning floating in my pod - I have no memory of what happened - I had to look at the kill log to see that I got ratted - it must have taken them hours with me just floating there passed out at the keyboard. The thing is, I didn't even remember going to that system - last memory I had was sitting in 4/4.

If you play EVE with no regrets you are not playing it right.
If you can't manage to do something stupid on a monthly basis you should choose a random pilot and donate 100M ISK to them.
