Seemed to help with both. although after a few drinks when theres a single pin cant set (while SPP) a quick rake with a half diamond/Hook usually get it open.

Ok I am never going to try this again. It took me 1.5 hours to open my Master 140 and then I passed out on the floor waking up at 6am with my lockpick in my hand and an open lock. At least I was not totally useless.(I may have been too drunk)

Drunk Lockpicking

Postby Roger E » 3 Feb 2007 21:46

Man, this topic just proves that this is a comprehensive lockpicking site. I'm new to lockpicking, but quickly learned that after having a few brews I was much more successful in picking locks. I could try the same locks the next day, stone cold sober, and it would take twice as long.

As someone else posted, I used to be a cop, too. Aside from the comments on time perception, I will say that if someone is a hardcore drinker, it can be almost impossible to tell if they're drunk from their driving ability, so maybe that applies to lockpicking. I pulled over people for other reasons, but because I smelled alcohol I gave them field sobriety tests, which many passed with flying colors. It was only after they volunteered to submit a sample on a portable breathalyzer device that I found that they were absolutely loaded.

Lesson: don't blow into a breathalyzer on a traffic stop!

HAHAHAHAHAHA! I can just see it...

Passing out with a pick and lock in hand, and you wake up and the lock is picked and there is a tension wrench in it, haha.

I guess, its how much you drink. It you drink too much then you can control yourself. Usually 1 bottle is fine..

Also for making it easier to pick, its about controlling the pressure?

When your drunk your not as tense.. hense the reason why people drink.
Don't pick locks you rely on!
Drop me a line on aim or msn.
