Occasionally I've found and fixed bugs after a trip to the pub, if only
because I wasn't going to get to sleep, and I was in the right sort of bloody
minded mood to chase the them down until they can't hide any more.

But I'm extra very careful when committing things when less than sober.
(This can be verified - see if any changes I've committed to the core after
11pm UK time (on nights when I was not committing anything between 7pm and
11pm) have had to be reverted).
