Writing reviews under the influence?

Contributor: roskat roskat
Having a drink and being drunk while writing a review are different things. I don't see a problem with it as long as you're still making sense, don't go overboard and manage to write a good review.

I have had instances where I've been extremely tired when I wrote a review (the result was not exactly asdkfldfjadskf but it sometimes got close), but I've never done drugs or gotten drunk.

There are some times, however, when I wonder about some of the people whose reviews I proofread...

never done this - I want full use of my brain when I write.

i don't use drugs or alcohol. i will, however, give the room full of typewriting monkeys LSD before they write my reviews

I think two of my reviews were written while tipsy. Lol, and I sent them in while still drunk I think.

When I do a review I write most of it one day and then wait until the next day to look it over with fresh eyes and add or take something away.

Now I have started a review while I was drinking but I don't think I was really drunk and then went back the next day to check everything I wrote. I would never send a review to be published while being drunk or even drinking.

It may seem irresponsible, but I know it's been done. To be completely honest, I recently had time for some "me ... more
Never done that before.

I'll sometimes start a review on a night when I've have a couple of drinks but will always then check it and finish writing it at a different time.

writing reviews isn't really what I find I want to do when drunk...

I hardly ever have more than 2 drinks in an evening, so this hasn't been possible for me yet.

Something I learned when I used to write songs is that it's OK to do some work under the influence (of...whatever)--just be sure to go over it carefully once you're sober!

Sometimes, great ideas do come from altered states of consciousness which wouldn't have occurred to the sober mind, but also a lot of really crap ideas!

I've been on percription ritalin while reviewing. But I think that's okay.

I may or may not have. I do work on writing or art a lot easier when I'm tipsy. I would never submit it while under the influence thought.

I smoke marijuana for medicinal reasons so I've definitely written a review or two under the influence
