I've also tried "relaxing" at the end of the day by socializing with alcoholic drinks, but found it caused discomfort while riding the next morning, especially with wine. I suppose if you're in no hurry to get up, and just cruise along, you wouldn't suffer from headaches and dehyration associated to the alcohol.
