This isn't black and white. It's not 100% sober or drunk.
A drink or two will loosen you up and probably will improve your game. The problem is that people don't have a drink or two. They have a drink or 8.
I am so damn friendly and funny and in a good mood when I have 2 or 3 drinks in me and the girls find it infectious. But i'm a damn fool and say and do some fairly stupid things that i should only be thinking instead of saying when I have any more. Losing a little bit of uptightness is good. Losing a lot of it is bad.
The "you should have a great game 100% sober" crowd lives in a theoretical world. Do what you have to do to have great game now. The more confidence you get from success with a couple drinks in you the easier being completely sober will be.
