> a CEO friend of mine told me that he'd always make sure to get really drunk the day before an important negotiation

Extrapolating from my own capacity to think clearly while I'm hungover I would suspect this is a profoundly bad idea.

I guess that depends on just how drunk you get the day before. All I need to get grumpy, is to skip coffee in the morning lol.
