Drugs and playing live

Just wondering what your preferred choice of drug is while playing live? Maybe share some experiences.
I'm playing a gig for the first time in years. The last time i played i wasnt into the whole drug scene, i just used to get wasted on beer and smoke a little pot.
Be cool too hear what you guys enjoy.

I play sober / smoke some weed / coffee for energy.

I don't perform (anymore), but if I did, I'd prefer to be sober. Or one alcoholic drink max, but nothing else. Full control FTW.

I usually play under a nice alcohol buzz. It really helps with letting loose in front of a crowd/not worrying about what your next solo will sound like etc.
Marijuana can be good, but usually I get too experimental when I'm stoned, and my bandmates get annoyed.
One time I took a big bonghit of hash right before a show. I swear I played the best guitar of my life, but I didn't move a muscle aside from my hands for the whole hour long set, or open my eyes 
So nowadays I just try to stick with a nice buzz, or I just play sober.

get high dude, it makes you freak out more beforehand and feel that much better afterwards. plus, you'll have that special connection with anybody in the audience who smoked.
i mean, i'm a fan of psychedelic rock, so for me going up on stage getting high is a must

I gave up looking for gigs now, but I'd either do sober or play high with a beer maybe. If I was a lead guitarist I think getting high would definitely make sense.

I like just taking one drink and a bit of smoke... but I've been playing with the idea of timing a half eighth of mushrooms so that I'm coming down when its time to play... No other drug boosts my musicality so much

LSD ALL THE WAY!!

Not really. Definitely not at a gig. Although for jamming with buddies or at a house party, BRING ON THE ACID!

Playing guitar on MDMA in the show would melt my brain  I stood next to the bass speaker at a festie this weekend on molly. I was just about to get down and my buddies dragged me away.

Drinking coffee is essentially playing sober. It doesn't make you high. Sometimes I will smoke a small spliff but thats all sober allows ALOT better I find when high I tend to get dreamy :P

When I'm sober my playing doesn't flow near as well as when I'm high, my improvising isn't as good either.... But occasionally my mind will blank and I'll kinda forget a riff or something playing even songs I've played dozens of times high

I want to see what it'd be like under the influence of something.
Perhaps i will give molly a go.

I find being a little high can help my drum playing ability. Being too high is distracting, though.
