I have the same problem, I can't seem to produce any artwork without a glass of wine at my side.
Painting without drinking doesn't feel right. I've considered that it's not really the alcohol which fuels my creativity, it's the connection I've made between alcohol and artwork in my own mind, after years of drinking and painting. A few times I sat down to paint with a glass of iced tea
as a substitute, and it did help a little. But it's not the same. Normally I'm somewhat conservative, and the wine helped to loosen me up,
but sometimes I have trouble putting a cap on it.These days I usually stick to drinking Baileys, since I pretty much get full before I get too buzzed. It's not the greatest solution, the stuff
is full of fat and sugar, but it's an improvement.
