Does alcohol impair appreciation of sound?


Curious to know how alcohol effects other audiogon members when they are listening to music. For me, seems the frequencies become dull and I find myself wanting to mess around with the controls.

One or two drinks does not impair my ability to hear, as far as I can tell, and often enhances the entire musical experience.

L'chaim!
I have to rethink my answer. I will undertake a rigorous study. Today I will have 1 shot of bourbon and listen to music. I will gauge my appreciation.

Tomorrow I will have 2 shots of bourbon and listen to music and gauge my appreciation.

The next day I will have 3 shots of bourbon, listen to music and gauge my appreciation.

I think this study will be complete in about 5-6 days
Ok- I just finished my second glass of some nice red wine, and the music is sounding fantastic right now!
