Hmm… My impression, although definitely based on a very small sample size, is that this graph is accurate for follows, but for leads, still right on perceived quality, but for actual quality it’s pretty much a linear downhill slide.

I completely agree with the first part, but not the part about perceived dancing because I always think I dance poorly when drunk, but have been told a do very well to a certain point…and then start to stumble all over the floor.
i find the benefit/drawback balance is roughly the time for the first pint to kick in properly …
i have my first beer at then end of a Lindy event… i have two or three of the best dances of the night as i loosen up and get creative/silly … then it all goes downhill as my balance goes just enough to throw my Lindy of whack …
time to head to the blues after party and hog the floor before everyone else turns up : )

If the girl is drunk, the leads job is to get though the song with out her betting hurt or anybody else getting hurt for that matter
Surely the y axis shouldn’t start at 0 e.g. No drinks = no dancing ability ?
(sorry, but I like graphs)
Noted & addressed.
Thanks!

I used to drink until I danced. Then I danced until I drank. I’ve gotten over that.
What’s up everyone, it’s my first pay a visit at this site, and paragraph is in fact fruitful in support of me,
