The alcohol equation in bar gigs is a funny thing: the drunk audience is a good thing (usually, but sometimes disasterously not), and the the drunk band is a good thing (usually, but sometimes disasterously not). Plus, I've taken to drinking hard liquor, straight-up on ice, to avoid the mid-set potty breaks that drinking pitcher after pitcher of free beer can bring on.
