I've made these points before in comms, but figure I should put them on the record here:

1. I find the "no posting while drunk" rule absurd. How can you tell how much someone has had to drink? Do you have an e-breathalyser? To me, the deciding factor is your behavior: you're either complying with the TOS or you aren't. If you're flaming, baiting, etc, your state of inebriation is irrelevant.

2. On the other hand, I have no problem with the rule against glorifying drunkenness, especially given the age of many users here. I draw a line, though, between glorifying drunkenness and discussing alcohol as a food, ie preferred beer brands, wine styles, etc. I make a clear discussion between alcohol and illeghal drugs however.

I don't think that it's so much posting after having consumed a few drinks, as much as the user in question pointing it out openly, obviously, and in a continuously and most direct manner that said user is ****faced.
