Beer or rehearsal
Beer or rehearsal: an insight into the effects of alcohol on the possibilities of a music career
Beer pleasures and musical woes
Who hasn’t enjoyed a sip of beer while their fingers caress the strings of a guitar or the keys of a piano? Beer and music – two universal pleasures that at first glance seem to be a perfect match. But how does this liquid pleasure really affect our musical abilities and career opportunities?
The truth is that while beer can provide temporary inspiration, the side effects could turn the musical dream into a nightmare. Erratic movements, blurred vision, slowed thinking – sound like the skills of a virtuoso musician? Hardly. And imagine trying to play Mozart’s “Eine kleine Nachtmusik” while your head beats like a drum!
Missing records and missed opportunities
Now, you might think that a few beers before rehearsal won’t hurt. But what happens when those occasional beers become a habit? Not only can it affect your musical abilities, but it can also affect your career opportunities. Just think of all the missed opportunities while you may be struggling with a hangover or unable to show up for rehearsals or performances due to alcohol issues.
Famous musicians may be seen with a beer in hand, but the reality is that most of them don’t owe their success to alcohol. On the contrary, they spend countless hours in rehearsal honing their skills and perfecting their performances.
Overall, it may be best to save the beer for the celebration after the successful performance. After all, when it comes to choosing between beer or rehearsal, the decision to set aside the beer and focus on the music could be the difference between a promised career and a missed opportunity. Cheers to your musical career!
