Ehh, maybe I should just go to bed. Do you guys do your reviews when drunk?

What about your retention rate? Oh well, I'll give it a try...

Let's see! :O

I've never done my reviews while drunk (mainly because I've never been drunk), but if it's anything like doing them when you're tired or have a fever, I wouldn't recommend it.

Hmm, yeah. It's only 58...shouldn't take too long!

The things you review when you're drunk, most likely, you'll only remember when you are drunk.

Same thing that happens when I try to write in Japanese when drunk: WAY too many easy mistakes. It's better to wait the next day. When you're drunk, you work more off instinct. Not much if anything will stick, so you're spacing cards that should not be spaced.

Just go and drive around a bit with the windows down till you sober up, then come back and do your reviews. Always works for me.

Like kazelee said, you will not remember it well when sober. Memory is highly enviroment-specific. What you learn when drunk, you remember when drunk. It's the same with drugs like cocain. If you take cocain for years in your own apartment, you get used to it and have to take huge amounts. Go somewhere else, say a park in another country, and take the same amount: poof, overdose.

Done. 41 of 58 correct. 70.7 percent.

This is way below my level. I failed easy cards such as deliver and cavity.

This wasn't a good idea...

Going down the Long Island Iced Tea road isn't a good bet, guys...

G'night! o.O

As long as you can tell these two apart when drunk, you have no worries:

lol if you're drunk... I wouldn't recommend driving anywhere XD

I would think that it would be pointless to do reviews... not much will stick....but I always find that I like talking in Japanese when I'm drunk. I guess I'm less afraid to make a mistake ^_^ Like the first time I went to karaoke for 飲み放題. At the start of it I was afraid to do anymore than order my drink... but by 3am I was chatting with my new buddy "聖-くん” He was just humoring me and my friends but still... It was easier to talk to him after my 6th Peach Sour XD Though it leaves you wondering if you didn't say something horribly wrong and he was just too polite to say anything to ya... oh well </random story>

Quality advice there, nuke...

What are you talking about? That's always the best road.

I do them on my phone while driving drunk .

I sometimes do my reviews while reading or just being lazy in general. It takes a fair bit longer, but I don't care because I'm still making progress. >:3

But anyway, I don't recommend reviewing drunk since drunk people can't multi-task(at least not normally), and who knows what other mental functions are impaired. You might wake up in the morning and have realized you accidentally hit "1" for all your kanji. Call that paranoia if you wish it.

Reviewing while drunk is OK. Just don't create stories and check "share this story" while in the study section. You may set a new record for most reports by the next morning. Anyways, it is good not being near a computer at all with a few bottles of courage in you.
