A phrase, used when drunk or when discussing a time period when you expect to be drunk, meaning essentially the same thing as the high-brow phrase "play it by ear."

Play it by Earl's was coined in honor of Earl's on the Ave, a well-known bar in Seattle where you go when you want drinks that will knock you on your ass.
"What are your plans for Friday?"

"I dunno, I'm just going to have a few drinks and play it by Earl's"
