If you're doing gigs at a 'professional' level I don't think you should be drinking before or through the gig. I wouldn't turn up to work pissed, I don't see why anyone who cared about their musicianship would either.
[/quote]i think Chris is spot on here... i would never record, do a gig, drinking....im not a pro, but the word professional has its responsibilities..... its always great to have fun after anyways....
