See, I (and a couple of others I know) are LESS ticklish after drinking. One may loosen me up a bit and that is fine but I don't drink much and have a pretty low tolerance. Any more than that and I'm less ticklish, more giggly maybe, but less ticklish.

Alcohol doesn't make you more ticklish, physically. It simply retards the natural inhibitors in your brain that control cognitive multi-tasking and motor skills. As a result, someone who has been drinking, develops "tunnel vision." Concentration becomes more intense, with a feeling of increased focus.
Jokes become funnier and the resulting laughter is usually less controllable. Many times people will laugh at nearly anything, and find the most benign actions literally hysterical. It stands to reason then, that being tickled while in an impaired state will result in harder laughter, and a more intense sensory perception.

More ticklish?
Interesting thought as to whether I may be more ticklish after drinking. Hmmm. I don't know if I am so I'll have to get drunk this weekend and check it out!

When I'm drunk I'm a bit less ticklish than I am when I'm sober. (I tested out the before and after effects a few weeks ago when I went out with a friend of mine). However, when I am drunk I do find everything funny, and laugh for no apparant reason (which another one of my friends thinks is pretty cute and that I should laugh more often (I'm normally a quiet person, and it's very rare to hear me laugh when I'm in a normal mood, which is usually a bad one))

alcohol tickle
Echo Shadowtickler.
Ethanol (the active ingredient in dirnking alcohol)will loosen your inhibitions and affect a lot of what neuroscientists call "frontal lobe function" - that is the social graces and polishing you developed over your life. These are such thing as normal inhibitions like not saying "that dress looks awful on you", or hitting on people aggressively and inappropriately, and urinating on yourself. You have all seen drunk people and you have all seen drunk people do these things - their frontal lobes (of their brains) are not functioning properly. So you remove these inhibitions and those psycholgical defense walls against being tickled silly like some sort of kid come crumbling down, make sense?
Now keep in mind that more is not better, it's like playing golf - one or two beers and you swing better, a few too many and you don't know which end of the club to hold on to. Ethanol is an excellent anaesthetic (ie it takes away pain) so too much and your lee won't feel a thing. Remember tickling is carried along the same nerve fibers as pain - they cannot feel pain, you're tickling in vain! In fact until the 1850s and the discovery and use of ether, whiskey was the anesthetic of choice for most surgeons! (ouch).
Bottom line: a little can loosen in inhibitions and too much can blow the whole thing.
