Most people, including me, would prefer (I'm sure) posting while they are fresh, clear and not under the influence of mind-affecting substances. But now and then it happens. After a few drinks, one feels inspired and ready to share one's new insights with fellow PC members. A temptation hard to resist. I cannot gainsay anyone who may conclude that my evening posts are perhaps more lush than those made in the daytime. Should there be a rule about this? Should those such as I be encouraged not to post while inspired by substances? Personally, I cannot imagine that PC's prior hundreds of thousands of posts are free of the inspiring taint of intoxicants. It may well be true, but I find it very hard to believe. I will myself plead guilty of such and throw myself on the mercy of the court. Nor, to me, does it matter very much whether PC people post here under the influence of their own prescription drugs or of other, more lowly, substances such as Budweiser, Gallo wine, or cheap brandy. Not, of course, to mention various varieties of cannabis or more sophisticated chemicals. I myelf can speak very highly of a combination of Ocean Spray Cranberry-Raspberry juice and Stock brandy from Italy (worth far more than its current price would lead one to believe).
But the question is: is it wise to post under the influence of such things? And further, should it be permitted? We in this country have such a long history of moralistic hissy-fits when it comes to chemically induced inspiration that I'd probably expect most of you to say that only pure PC members may actively participate. PC members who have not tasted of the grape of the vine. At least within memory. Are we that bad? Are we to continue the wildly moralistic history of our poor country here on PC?
Myself, I vote for Free Posting, in whatever mental state we may find ourselves. All is grist for the PC mill and every opinion should be read, evaluated and taken into account. As with doctors writing professional articles, all possible sources of outside influence should be disclosed. In our case here on PC, I believe that if we're under the influence of any intoxicant whatsoever, disclosure should be made.
What say you all to this? Should there be a rule? Should this entire post be buried in oblivion? Has this issue ever been dealt with before?
Your sincere opinions are most sedulously requested. Take care!

I would say no because when you are intoxicated you dont know what you are doing thats just lke me driving drunk on the road and I know that Iam drunk and hit somone or kill someone on the road.
