> spending some session in seated meditation.

First I misread this as "sedated meditation", which had me wondering: Does moderate alcoholic influence impair or improve a meditation session?

I know it may sound weird, but I find it tremendously easier to concentrate on and really understand heavy mathematical material after a glass of whisky or two.

It makes it a lot harder, a light dusting of caffeine can be helpful though.

The purpose of vipassana meditation is "awareness" and alcohol really gets in the way of that because it makes it hard to focus. This kind of meditation is an activity.
