Hi, am new here, so just getting the hang of it. But I would say, in terms of the actual practice of writing itself, absolutely not! I cannot bear to think about how many days have been written off by hangovers when I could have been writing! I could be as prolific as Charles Dickens if it wasn't for drink... well maybe not, but still.
However, I would also say that the experience of being a social alkie has given me lots of source material, and helps me get into the heads of the drink and substance-loving characters I seem to often create.
