Well that didn't work

As many of you know, I bowl on Friday nights. As you also may know, I pretty well suck with a 128 average....not good at all.
I recently (when I had been drinking) surmised that my bowling progressively got better as the evenings progressed. My rationale is that I thought less about the game as I drink more, so the logical solution was to be more drunk for the beginning of the evening, just to loosen up. I recently acquired Fridays off in exchange for working Sundays, so the opportunity was there yesterday to get liquored up and test my theory. A buddy of mine came over, and we proceeded to shoot pool and drink starting at 2:00. The idea was to hang for a couple hours take a little nap, have another beer then go bowling. What actually happened was 9 beers in three hours, going straight to bowling and having 4 or 5 more.
Needless to say the night was a complete bust and I was safely tucked in bed by 10:00pm. I don't have many recollections, except that my high game was a fucking 98.

Should I test the bowling totally sober theory next week? NAH!

I think I do better if I've had a few drinks...at a certain point though, I spiral downward - kinda like how your experiment went.
