You are certainly a risk taker, see the positive side of it. Most people are sweating/going crazy before the day of GMAT. You have the nerve to drink. I know some extremly smart people who would play videos games the entire day before exam and guess what they end up getting better grades than most of us mortals, who are doing nightouts.

I would prefer him to focus on the negative side of drinking and partying before the GMAT.

As someone who knows more than the average person about sleep cycles, I can tell you that alcohol will not help you relax or get rested the day prior to a test.

Alcohol is a depressant, which is why most people associate it with its ability to help you get to sleep. But it also can trick your brain into delaying its need for rest. Alcohol can inhibit your body's ability to go into deep sleep, thus reducing the amount of repair your brain gets while you rest. It also dehydrates you, which can have negative consequences.

It's not rocket science...don't drink before an important test that requires you to be at 100% mental capacity. Feel bad about it, move on, and don't be an idiot next time.

You should be angry at yourself. You wasted quite a bit of money and effort just to literally piss away with your friends one night.

Yeah. I agree. Can't help it now. Retaking is the only option and hopefully I should do well this time

Best of luck on the retake. Plus you have at least seen the exam once.
