That's the secret. When I used to play music six nights a week I always had my first beer an hour before showtime followed by a second one and brought my third onstage. I'd end up consuming about a beer per hour after that, which is about the rate the body metabolizes the alcohol.

The result was that I'd stay at that level all night, just loose enough without getting sloppy. I notice this worked for playing pool too. I was more likely to run the table and control the cueball on 2-3 beers than either sober or drunk.

Never though of applying it to Bitcoin trading.
