The thing about ideas for stories you have whilst drinking brandy though is that you only think that they are good ideas at the time. Once the alcohol wears off you realise what utter crap they were.
I've had dreams like that - you are aware that you are dreaming but the story is so good you are sure that if you woke up and wrote it down, it would make the best story ever.
And then you wake up and start to think it through and it's a pile of rubbish!
