Default Play better drunk? Or run better drunk?

I almost never play after having had more than one or two drinks. But this past Friday night, I wandered into a few 3/6 and 5/10 NL games (I usually play tourneys, or multitable 1/2-2/4) after a fairly liquor-intensive night out on the town, and proceed to clean up for $1k or so in a few hours. I then proceed to lose most of said $k at similar tables during the rest of the weekend. The only thing different about me is that I haven't been sorta hammered since playing Friday night.

So, was I a) running bad since Friday night, b) running especially well on Frdiay night, c) do I really play better drunk, or d) bastard!
