What I have found ...I feel more relaxed and can get into the music more rather than my own playing ...iff you know what mean ...
The negative ...iff I have something in my head that I want to play at any given time ...sometimes impossible to pull off ...I will go for it without a second thought ....
Any more brings diminishing returns.
The other side of it is that I think I'm better at things when drunk - the challenge is being able to identify the point at which the former becomes the latter.
I certainly tend to enjoy doing a lot of things with a beer or two in me - I wouldn't say I'm better at playing guitar than when I'm sober, but up to a point I probably enjoy it more because I'm not worrying about how it actually sounds as much; which probably makes me play a little better (until I have more to drink, or sober up a little bit, and it all falls apart).
Edit - Link broken now but watch The Inebriati sketch by Mitchell and Webb if you need proof
My playing is ok up to around 6 pints … some of the best recorded live stuff I have done has been on a few beers . You can go too far though

I don't play anywhere near as much since I quit.
And also (sort of the reverse of that) I lose my compulsion to avoid playing anything "too simple and easy" just because it sounds nice, and stop playing too many bloody notes. And I slow down a bit and play with better feel instead of just trying to play every damn thing 10% faster than I really can.
if Nile was wrong, you are more wrong.
