Its funny I just saw this thread because on Thursday I was running the tech for a show at 9pm and at 6pm I went to a networking event and at about 7pm I had a glass of wine. By the time the show started I was ready to go to bed. I had to find some caffeine to keep me awake in the booth and I said never again. Beer would be a little different because it doesn't work like a night cap like wine does for me but I'm not going to chance it again.

I don't think there's anything wrong with ONE drink before a show.  Definitely not on opening night/critics weekend.  But if I need to loosen up before a show, ONE never hurt anybody.  It's like having ONE drink with dinner.   

Notice how i'm emphasizing ONE.  Anything more than that just seems excessive BEFORE a show and should be saved for afterwards.
