Yup!
On a related note, when I fist became a super-serious Masters racer, I noticed that even casual drinking the night before lifting had adverse effects on my lifting. Not due to a hangover, but due to poor sleep associated with intoxicated sleeping.
This led to me cutting my drinking back a lot because I simply didn’t want to feel like crap under the barbell.
