Do you ever program while drinking?

Does it flow better when you are slightly drunk?

The only time I willingly do that is when I&#x27;m browsing the Web while drunk, and something about the page&#x27;s behavior or design annoys me, so I&#x27;ll casually open up the inspector and work out a fix.<p>This has happened several times and I usually end up with a nice snippet of code that&#x27;s actually useful. Interestingly, I almost never do this while sober, or stoned. There&#x27;s just something about drinking that makes me more eager to do stuff like that.<p>For any kind of work beyond that, though, I&#x27;m effectively useless when drunk.

I do it while working on side projects once in a while, but I&#x27;m usually only effective when the task is something trivial such as adding a new basic feature to a web app. It can be a lot of fun as I tend not to not overthink my code and I can come up with some creative ideas. Like many others have said when answering this question at other times, the code can be sloppy sometimes so it&#x27;s important for me to add comments and make sure that I refactor.

Does anyone enjoy programming while high on cannabis? I don&#x27;t think I actually accomplish that much, but I do tend to enjoy it and have solved some nasty bugs with a fresh look. I&#x27;ve heard mixed feelings on the subject though.

I have, but no noticeable productivity increase. It&#x27;s usually just something to relax as I wind down my programming for the day.

When i was young i did that sometimes at work. Worked out pretty well except that the code was a bit hard to understand.

Yes, and not necessarily.
