I recently tested my typing speed on various different keyboards and thought it’d be a good idea to test that typing speed while drunk. I’m typing this while pretty tipsy, as a matter of fact. Disregard any typos.
This isn’t a scientific test but after about 7 beers, my typing speed is around 58 WPM. I average around 74 WPM, depending upon which keyboard I’m using. I recently average around 81 WPM on this particular keyboard. So that is a 23 WPM (drunk math) decrease in typing speed due mainly to mistakes. My actual speed is probably about the same but there’s a definite increase in mistakes.
I’d like to hear from others. What’s your drunk typing speed?

I am about to test this out on fast 10 fingers. On average, I get about 95-100 wpm. I shall take this test drunk three times (this is one approx nine shots worth of whiskey.
Result: 84 wpm average while drunk
Sober: 96 wpm.
Seems legit that typing skills decrease while drunk. Not surprised at all.

While sober I type around 130-140wpm. Went 10 drinks in and just typed 155wpm with 100% accuracy on monkeytype. That’s a sample size of one though so I wouldn’t give it a lot of credibility.
