If one were a little tipsy.... that would not be a good time to try to debate anything right?

Not necessarily so.  Some of the most honest and intellectually deep discussions I've had with people have been lubricated ones.
Sometimes a small amount of  inebriation weakens the walls and tones down the ego.

Haha not really...tipsy says I'm not there yet but I'm trying lol

Some of the world's most entertaining arguments have started out tipsy. Unfortunately they tend to lose quality as tipsy morphs into dead drunk.

Depends on the nature of the debate.  If it is a serious issue and the debate will lead to decision making, no.  If its just friends sitting around philosophizing, sure.

i dont think so
