An observation:
For me PUI (picking under the influence :D ) just doesn’t work. Of course it’s not strange if you drink yourself back to Stone Age, but I get negative effect even after just one drink. And I really don’t understand why; some “athletes” dealing with precision (dart, pool etc.) get positive effect of one, or even maybe two beers, due to alcohols similar effect as a beta blocker (?).

Is it just me or does your Pick-Fu also get worse by alcohol?

It depends on volume and context for me. If I've had a decent meal beforehand one usually makes me a little more patient with that #%@! fourth pin but otherwise it just makes me useless at picking, which makes me mad enough to scrub the lock till it smokes. :D
