Hey Chief,
Ok so I don't know if its a case of me getting perhaps too drunk on nights out but I'm unsure whether my game isn't as good as it was. Going through a month dry spell SPAM, I'm fine with approaching girls, I just think its my escalation part and closing them which is where I'm coming unstuck. What do you recommend to do in these situations and perhaps the best approaches here? I'm thinking perhaps I should just grow a pair and be sexual when I'm with them even without the drink as I probably slur my words when I've had too many?
Thanks
Hardcore PUAs say "NEVER DRINK WHEN DOING PICKUP," and there's a very good reason for that.

1. Alcohol
This one is way too common. “Liquid courage,” they call it.
We all know why you take that double-shot of Jager or that Tequila Slammer before you even think about approaching that hottie over there across the bar. You’re scared of getting hurt and you want to numb the fear.
We all know the obvious first risk of relying on alcohol when trying to pick up chicks – you become a drunk dumbass. It’s a very unattractive sight.
Let’s give you some benefit of the doubt. Maybe you’re not “that guy.” Maybe you just use this liquid courage to get very very lightly buzzed so you don’t end up looking like an intoxicated fool. Well, I’ve got bad news for you, pal. That’s still not a good thing for you.
I see this happen over and over again. The guy who relies on alcohol ends up being dependent on it to talk to women. Sobriety becomes their pickup kryptonite.
The end result of that path is even more pathetic than the guy who gets totally smashed one time and ends up hitting on all the bartenders.
A man who relies on anything external like alcohol to do something as basic as talking to a woman is not really a man at all.
I'm not surprised that you've hit a dry spell. When you learn to depend on alcohol to talk to girls, the base level of your natural ability to talk to girls just gets worse and worse over time like a muscle atrophying. So, naturally, your performance while drinking gets progressively worse as well, especially when you feel like you need more and more alcohol to get the same level of confidence you're used to getting when you hit that bottle.
It's important to remain very cognizant of your sexual escalations because of the need to calibrate and microcalibrate. Being drunk really hinders your ability to calibrate and microcalibrate. It's also harder to pick up on those green light cues women give you so you know it's a good time to close.
Hit on girls when you're sober and save the drinking for its own enjoyment.
