Nothing "wrong" with it per se, I was known to enjoy large bottles of rum during extended coding sessions. Now I can attest to the massive fall-off in "epic skillz" associated with too much alcohol - my code starts OK, gets better, then becomes an epic mess of typoes. I stopped doing that a while back as I realized that it impaired my judgement too much.
Computer crimes are far easier to commit when ones judgement is sufficiently impaired - a lot of people I used to associate with took some form of intoxicant and claimed it made them a "better hacker". (cannabis often being one of the drugs of choice, some claim it allowed them to "visualize" it all better...). I personally reckon that the real reason for this is that it makes it easier to ignore the fact you are doing something "wrong". TL;DR, intoxicants + misguided computer hackers = bad.
