I was going to joke about the next practice session is going to be getting really drunk and then going to a casino to count cards.
Actually, dart players who normally play/practice drunk perform better when intoxicated than sober. It won't help your game if you normally play sober to start playing drunk though.
Do you have a source for this?
I've heard this type of claim repeatedly, but figured it was unlikely, and never got around to taking data.
Yeah, that would be taking it too far ;-).
I'm not advocating putting yourself into net-loss situations like intentionally getting drunk to practice, but if you happen to find yourself in a state (like in a dream or having a high fever) that presents special challenges and there are no negative consequences to practicing rationality, I think it would be good to do so. When it's easy to do in a dream or with a fever, it will be effortless in real life under "normal" circumstances.
