I have solved many Rubik's cubes in my life. I have also had a good amount of alcohol in my life. Of course I have done the occasional solve while intoxicated, but I have always wondered how exactly the amount of alcohol in my system would impact my timed solves.
The experiment was simple. 160 solves with a shot of 90 proof liquor at each interval of 20. Starting with a control group before anything took effect and ending with an extra 20 solves, not wanting to drink anymore, were the only variations in my alcohol consumption. All data was tracked by csTimer and put into Excel in order to make a nice graph the day after.
The results were pretty straightforward. Times, as expected, worsened and varied more as more alcohol entered my bloodstream. Below are a few stats from the session. For reference, I average about 12.5.
Best Time: 10.29 (Solve 72)
Best Ao5: 11.52 (Solves 37-41)
Best Ao12: 12.30 (Solves 27-38)
Worst Time: 23.91 (Solve 107)
Worst Ao5: 17.36 (Solves 140-144)
Worst Ao12: 15.36 (Solves 138-149)
Feel free to ask any questions. This was fun! Would not do it again.

.18% is over two times the legal driving limit haha. I was having a hard time talking and walking- muscle memory just works in strange ways
