My boss just took me out for a couple of pints and I'm sat in the office as we speak, so at this moment in time I am probably the most qualified person to speak on this.

Alcohol does not make you a better programmer, it dulls your mind and makes it easy to get distracted and it slows how quickly you can think.

Perhaps this increase in productivity is merely you feeling happier because you are indulging yourself, if you no longer find your programming fun you are probably more laid back about it when you are a little drunk.
