It's a great idea. I did all my college programming projects with a vodka drink on the computer stand. However they seem to frown on it in the corporate world.

One of my coworker's previous offices had a fully stocked bar in most of their cubes. His boss had a bottle of peach moonshine on his desk. And it was fairly often my coworker had to call his wife to say he would be at work late to sober up from the work day. Can't say that's the norm though.

In college, I would do a fair bit of programming while I had a drink or two in the evening. It can help at times. But yes, there is a small gap between not enough and too much.

I have worked with guys that told me stories about doing coke on 72hr coding binges, for telecom companies. It's a wonder the stuff worked as good as it did.

After seeing that, I think I'm going to make sure of my parsers, perhaps encoding characters such as semicolon as "%3B" to make sure.
