I don't think I was sober for one minute of GTA4.
I didn't do half-bad at it, so I'm guessing drinking might heighten something. For the most part, it just makes you want to hit pause and go to bed.

Have not read any of this thread, but based on the topic name the answer would be: Depends.
It really depends on how drunk you are, and what game you're playing (at least for me). If I have had a beer or two and am playing a FPS I get a tad better, but if I've had say 12 beers and playing a FPS I start to suck, a lot. Although at the same time, the game become 250% better once I've had about 12 beers.
In my experience most games that don't have much of a storyline to pay attention to, and are pretty much just skirmishes/random battle are almost always better with alcohol. Although if you need to pay attention to some sort of a storyline, I have found you lose some of it while drunk.
Final conclusion, alcohol makes 60% of recent games at least 150% better. =D

Ive found that games that require slightly more attention, such as Pro Evolution, Fifa etc are definatly affected by the intake of alcohol.
Other game such as 1st person shooters where you can burst in all guns blazing, are less so affected by drinking, sometimes improved because your nerves are setttled and its slightly easier to adjust your aim.
