I suck balls at pool, gradually getting better the more I drink until I'm just about at the stage of not being able to stand up properly half the time unless I use the cue as a balancing tool, by which time I am usually kind of hax. My main drinking buddy is a guy who loves his pool and has played for a bunch of local teams in the pub leagues down here and he always gets annoyed at how much better I get when I'm drunk. I don't think i've ever beaten him once when I was sober (that wasn't him potting a black on accident or something) but I've had him a few times when tanked. It's always pretty fun, though.
