Do you indulge when listening to your rig?

This time of the year, a couple Sam Adams Octoberfest really conditions my ears for the musical euphoria that takes place.

Certainly, either scotch or red wine, when available and in moderate amounts, otherwise the sound stage would lose focus ;-)

The combination of great jazz and an intoxicant makes me sleepy, so, I no longer indulge in the devil's weed or drink while seriously listening.

How many of you have awakened in a panic after finding out the stylus on your turntable had been scratching at the end of an LP after you had fallen asleep while listening?

A little weed allows me to get drawn further into the music. Highly recommended A+ on my recommended list.

I certainly appreciated the combination of music and pot while in college in the 70's, but I haven't used pot since. These days, I look forward to listening at night, with a couple fingers of good scotch.
