first of all i would like to say i hope this is appropriate for the site and i'm mostly posting this for advice on why is happens and how to fix it. also if it happens to other people as well... so usually when i drink tooo much i can't play at all, but tonight i drank enough to where i was buzzed but not too much.. ok so back to my point. 90 percent of the time i play guitar specially dealing with fast licks etc i get anxious and i can feel it, i know how to play it but my anxiety gets the best of me. so tonight i went back to this lick i was trying after drinking a few and realized it was very simple to play, my anxiety left and it just flew out of me... so does this happen often and how do you over come it, i have this problem with a lot of things but guitar is one of the biggerst ones...

I know how that feels, but it's not a good way to do it. Alcohol easily takes your inhibitions away and loosens up your limbs and brain, but it also prevents you from being perfectly conscious of what you are doing or playing. 
but yes guitar playing gives me and i think everyone here a lot

I hear ya, BUT. If you can get there with a bit of booze, you can get there without it. The booze is just masking your feeling/fear. It's still there. The booze becomes a crutch, QUICK. Be VERY VERY careful heading down this road. It can lead to a bad place. Try finding ways of getting to that same state without booze. Meditation/workout/breathing exercises etc.
