I also have a Barbarian Warrior on Tarew Marr, and have made it a point
to keep his alcohol tolerance maxxed. I usually drink short beer, and have
found even with his 60 int, I raised a point in alcohol tolerance every time
I drank one. My Barb has 130str and 110sta, and after getting completely
wasted, they both go up 20 points (my alcohol tolerance is now 120). I make
it a point to carry a backpack full of beer and down a few every time I have
a duel or am fighting a high level monster. It's like having temporary
Berserk (what happens when Warriors get low on HP). Berserk basically
increases your hit%, damage, and hit speed. Anything that does that works
for me!

In a Bards case, alcohol tolerance, IMHO should actually INCREASE the
effects of our songs. For instance, when I was playing in a band I played
100 times better when I was completely hammered. In the sense Verant is
using it, being drunk seems to enhance a characters specialty (ie. Warriors
fight better and main stats increase), so why shouldn't Bards become more
rambunctious and charismatic?
