I am a purist. One or another - not both at the same time.
There's just a spectrum of drunkenness where different games work best at different points. For example, you could start your Friday night off relatively sober and playing a bit of co-op shooter or a new RPG or something. Then, as the drunkenness increases, you move toward games that don't depend as much on reflexes, attention, or making good decisions: old favorites, turn-based strategy, etc. Finally, once you reach fully shit-housed territory, it's back to co-op games and games where you can shout at your friends and/or turn into a drinking game: Halo, Smash Brothers, Mario Kart, etc.
Frankly, if you've never played Mario Kart: "Drunk Driving" with a room full of people until 3AM and then passed out waiting for your next Smash Bros. match to start, you may have missed out on some core memories.
Don’t drink and drive!
Beerio kart is great for making sure half the players collaps on the couch :)
Drunk Driving Mario Kart is the best. Always slam your drink at the starting line.
When I used to play WOW I discovered that my dps went way up when I was like 6 beers in. Then around 9-10 I hit the point where my spatial awareness stopped working and I became a liability. Good times.
Also I just keep getting better at Halo until I pass out as long as it's FFA mode and I don't have to think about who's friend or foe.
Depends on the game. EvE Online and drinking is a recipe for disaster
