If we're just hanging out in the backyard, well, that's one thing. I am my father's child and in spite of my littleness I can put away quite a bit. HOWEVER, if I have too much I fall asleep and that's hardly conducive to making music. I can drink and sing at the same time, but I simply cannot drink and play an instrument. My fingers get all wonky. And like I said, if it's just some pards getting together for a good time, no problem. But if we're talking about a real live performance where people expect something good, a little nip is all I'll have, if even that. We always have water handy, though.
