The question is, can you trade while you are already drunk?
I was asked this question because I have never been in that mood before being drunk while trading and those who have been in that condition what was your actions and reaction while trading because I noticed something very hard for someone to be drunk and as well trade, do you make profits or keep losing maybe do you close your trade after being drunk.
I very rarely trade because so far I tend to prioritize investing over trading.
But about your question, I think it's a bad idea to trade drunk. Obviously that will influence decisions and will usually only result in losses, not profits. Even half asleep is not good for trading, it's the same as being drunk.
However, I never knew if anyone traded drunk. Even if they made a profit I don't think they were drunk but fine. Half asleep and drunk are the same, it affects the final decision.
I know it's crazy but I think there are really traders who can perform well while they are drunk. Have you seen the movie drunken master? The main character becomes really good at karate by the time he drank a lot of beer and get drunk. The same thing I was talking about there. I heard there's also writers who becomes very creative when they take drugs.
For some it can be coffee and alcoholic beverages. Sometimes we only need to experiment if what beverages or substance works best for us. There are drunk people who are still very conscious about their surroundings so it may be different from half asleep but I don't think someone can function well if they are half asleep.
