I use to write fictional stories. I'm not that good in writing, but it is my thing and I love doing it.
But I have a huge handicap: As living with ADHD, I get so easily distracted by every and anything, even in a total vacuum I would find something irrelevant to focus on. Sometimes I have to force myself so hard to write, all I write down is not even worth to for rewriting/editing.
Recently I discovered, after some glasses of booze, I could write like I am flying or something. Hours pass by, page after page. And when I'm sober later, it feels great to edit and correct the story.

I think, looking to the lived lives of so many artists, painters, writers etc. most of them went by this technique.
But drinking while doing my stuff has a huge disadvantage to me: When I stop drinking after a few glasses, I got a massive headache, can't stop going on. When I continue drinking, I get to a point where I'm so drunk that I'm writing down complete nonesense. It seems it's totally uncontrollable.

So I'm wondering: What are your thoughts of doing creative stuff while being drunk (pros and cons. But don't complain about the health aspect, everyone knows that such techniques are bad for the body and can turn into an addiction..)

Do creative stuff while drunk, get erased by its own momentum, or don't do it? We all want our work to

I can write better & way more focused when I'm drunk, but can't hold the "Ballmer's Peak".
