Try re-writing later? As the saying goes, “Write drunk; edit sober.”

That’s what I did, actually. Maybe I should write sober too. But that Kentucky bourbon was just so inspiring.

  People who hate it cite your claim that you wrote it drunk as an issue.
  
  People who liked it 1) don’t care how it came into being 2) are impressed that alcohol has a different impact on you than on them 3) believe your claims to be drunk are exaggerated.
  
  I personally believe all three.

    Fun fact: for obvious reasons downing four shots actually improves my skill at blitz chess by a significant margin.
