I think it depends on both the beer and the gear. Drink enough and you're basically rolling off the high freqs. This becomes especially noticeable after 3 or 4.
SS class A or tube amps do seem to improve within the first hour while they stabilize. Some speakers, like my Spendors, seem to benefit from a good 30 min of warm up if they've been dormant for a while. Other speakers like my Heresys, don't seem to have that issue.
I've experienced systems sounding much worse after a few drinks, and the opposite as well. My main rig tends to sound better when I'm sober, but that's probably for the best.
