Thing is, if you've got some wine in you while writing, if you write one good line, you'll think it's most sublimest achievement in western civilisation and subsequently just give in to complacent leisure. TOMBOT otm about the ludicrousness, but arguably the ludicrous stuff may be good stuff, i mean, if it gives you visceral pleasure, no matter how seemingly solipsistic.

not quite creative writing but i cant write a job app at the moment without having a drink in the afternoon. i get too anxious. drinks the only thing that can calm my nerves. well unless someone can suggest something better.

Fitzgerald = drank himself to death at age 44
Hemingway = committed suicide
Carver = alcholic, died age 50

Guess it depends what you mean by "good"...
