Should you ever play poker while "under the influence"?

I was at a friend’s birthday and they were joking about playing after drinks. That is not a bravery approach. I once tried a small beer before a session and I was overconfident for no reason, I made a series of mistakes. I learnt quietly that mixing alcohol and strategy do not align.

Honestly I believe it helps me play better, if I have a buzz going, because I don't get bored playing poker when I'm drinking, so I have more patience.
