Can you still game well while drunk?

I don't know if this counts.

I've only gotten drunk in social gatherings. And, unfortunately, not many of my friends are into gaming. But once I was at a house of someone that owned a switch and had Just Dance installed and we wanted to see how we would do dancing while drunk/tipsy. It was so funny watching people stumble constantly, falling, and one even puked in her mouth a little. I crushed it though. I won a dance off against some other dude to the Rasputin song.

So I guess if I can control my whole body while drunk and achieve that, I guess I do just fine. At least when it comes to motor skills. I'm not sure I'd be able to focus enough for puzzles and stuff that would require focusing.

I'd rather snort cocaine in a long fortnite session

I'm an outlier. I don't drink or do drugs. I always want to have complete control of my actions. One time I got drunk and I felt like total shit.
 
Genres where you need quick reaction times like shooters of all kinds and fighting games are almost impossible if really drunk.

More methodical games, like turn based RPGs and visual novels, are doable while drunk.

Back in my college days (a lifetime ago), the frat house would have these impromptu NCAA football tournaments. Through the first semester, two things were a constant; I have not yet been introduced to weed, and I was really good at NCAA. Second semester roles around, and I got stoned for the first time during holiday break. There was a new constant; I was smoking weed regularly, and became pretty awful at NCAA.
