Yeah I play ARAM drunk every so often which is fine but it is horrible when I wake up and realize I bought a skin to a random champ and I'm down 30 LP...

You can only speak for yourself on this matter. There are people who function better at games when they are tipsy and or drunk. I personally know someone who plays better at fighting games and Halo when he has had a few to drink for example. Even Gragas fights better after he has thrown a few back! :D

I play in Normals drunk quite often. I never go into ranked drunk (maybe after a single beer), although I rarely play ranked. I don't want drunk me to ruin other peoples ranked games.

My friend played ARAM drunk with me, she ran around screaming "Why can't I hurt them?!" and was trying to attack our team...

I find I play better slightly drunk as it switches me from overly analytically thinking to practiced reaction. Stepping up from slightly though and the inebriation effect on coordination and attention span... yup.

Ive ran the gamut of drunk gaming. Barely tipsy to where I play better, IMO, to full on drunk where I wake up and look at my match history and have a game where I'm a 3 cs 10 death Cait with a doran's and health pot for a 35 minute game.

I think a beer or 2 can help you play better because it relaxes the nerves. The problem, is its hard to stay in that sweet spot, and you almost always go over it. And, I seem quicker to temper if it wears off. So, you keep drinking, and eventually play 100x worse.

The first thing I notice going, when I'm drinking, is map awareness. While my mechanics and such will still be top notch or even better, I tunnel vision on the lane. I wont even see a jungler sitting on a ward.

The next thing to go is decision making. I start playing far more yolo, and dying more.

The last thing is my mechanics, where I pretty much lose most of the games.

And sometimes, the happy drinking has probably wore off, and now you are a fuming, ill-as-a-hornet, toxic rager. Thats really the worst part about drinking and playing; you can switch to bad drunk in the drop of a hat. One typical solo Q asshole can completely ruin your entire night, because you just go rage mode.

Overall, though, I enjoy drinking a few beers and playing.

I've never played while drunk before, but I have gone into matches buzzed/tipsy more than a few times.
It's never affected my gameplay and maybe even helped me do a bit better (more cautious?).
