Just the booze?

I think it's a combination of the booze, stage jitters and distraction. I am convinced that playing an instrument and singing at the same time automatically means that you are going to compromise your singing as well as your playing; it's just impossible to do both at the same time to the best of your ability. Sure, you can get better at multi-tasking over time, but an extra glass (or five) of Chardonnay will only help to undermine your progress.
