Few years ago asked my mom to send me a few photos from the family christmas - they showed up in my email inserted into a word doc.
This is how some of my clients send me screenshots. :(

The user is a woman: standard UX testing, only you're forced to confront your own preconceptions for having assumed it would be otherwise.
> The user is a woman Nothing changes. Like "The user is trans" or "The user is Bulgarian" or "The user listens to Kinky Friedman" or "The user drinks from a hose". > your own preconceptions Speak for yourself.

The classic "How does your site perform if your cat is standing on the F11 key" test
Lately my 3 year old's favourite passtime is to come sit on my lap while I'm trying to work (or surfing HN or whatever) and ask, "Can I press this key?" (Shift? "Uh, ya, sure.") "Can I press this key?" (Ctrl? "Sure.") Some of them make you think though. (F2? What will that do in this context?) It's not among my most productive times, but it's fun. :)

Which is why I said "getting drunk regularly," which is the implied activity in a business built around a guy getting drunk. Either way, amusing to see someone compare getting drunk to running a marathon.

Looking back, I now know I had an alcohol problem. It affected my work (couldn't concentrate) and it affected my health (gained weight). I'm still young, so I hope there are no permanent effects from my drinking.
"I'll get very drunk, and then review your website. I'll send you a document outlining where I thought the website needed help" When you are drunk, would you be actually in the state of mind where you can document the issues ?

The comments are suggesting that this is niche. I don't think it's niche at all. On products I've worked on, I've frequently declared that all usability testing should be done when you're exhausted and grumpy. You don't tolerate * pointless process, * extraneous fields, * improperly labeled things, * poor ordering, * sloppy UX flow, * excessively accurate controls, * super-tiny buttons, * things when you're like that…
He includes a link to his website, which has a very tiny and fairly condense header bar but plenty of white space. Perhaps he should hire himself?
