Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Exactly. Click bait. I saw the title and came for the wrong reasons, searching for wisdom

IME alcohol doesn't improve performance in any area of life but if you drink enough you don't give a FF.

"back in the day" I'd usually have a couple of beers before going on stage. I found that it relaxed me, helped me to get in to the gig vibe and resulted in a better performance. No skiing was involved during these events.

No. Alcohol impairs performance. I have read that some insurance companies will not pay out if you are skiing whilst over the limit (not sure what the limit is)
I do enjoy a bombardino, but I won't try to kid myself on that it makes me ski better. |
I haven't read all 4 pages
Fear & nerves also impair performance for some people, especially beginners, I guess there is an equation where alcohol reduces performance directly, but improves performance indirectly, by reducing excessive fear & nerves.
I never had fear or nerves when skiing & never found alcohol to be beneficial.

TBF I have known a few people, who could sometimes be over-anxious about their skiing and freeze up, who would be better after a small beer or glühwein at lunch (or earlier). Just helped them relax a little bit, both mentally and physically, and their skiing would be so much better afterwards. I'd hesitate to recommend it, but waaay back before my wife went off and did her BASI stuff, actually probably before she did the Ski Club reps' course, this would sometimes be something I might suggest to her.
