Uvijek pijem kada igram u kasinu uživo. Slotovi, rulet, bilijar ili kartaške igre, ako igram uživo, pijem alkohol 99% vremena. Ali ako igram kod kuće, online, rijetko pijem, a ako i pijem, to je samo pivo. Koliko često pijete alkohol kada igrate kockanje uživo ili online?
I drink more when I play online, there is always alcohol in the house 🤣 When I am in the casino I pretend to be polite and do not drink alcohol 🤣

I drink alcohol very rarely, and very little, provided there are reasons to celebrate. gambling, whether at home or in a casino, is not a sufficient reason for me to drink alcohol.

Rarely drink alcohol, maybe a hot toddy during a long (online) poker tournament.

What you said makes sense, you prefer alcohol in a social enviroment, which is what it is for.

I only play online and I usually drink. I only drink beer. It's good for the game, it helps me relax.

If gambling is entertainment for you, then I think alcohol in small quantities can be acceptable. But only in small quantities. Personally, I don't drink alcohol, I'm perfectly fine without it :)

If I'm playing with friends, I can drink with them too. But not much. If I'm alone, I never drink.

I haven't drunk alcohol for many years. And gambling for me is a hobby that goes well with tea or coffee :)

It's all about the mood. I can drink beer or not. But definitely nothing stronger. My health doesn't allow me to abuse alcohol anymore.

Alcohol can lead to reckless decisions. But it is also true, going to a casino and playing slot machines is only healthy if you approach it with the mindset that you’re simply there to have fun. So why not?

I paid dearly for playing drunk. Getting drunk for me is tantamount to losing my bankroll. Moreover, I can become angry and dangerous to others. Therefore, if I drink alcohol while playing, I have a clear limit that I do not exceed. As well as a limit of money for playing, which I also strictly adhere to.

I very rarely play live, and when I do, I drink 2-3 beers. When I play online at home, I drink very rarely, but it happens.

Alcohol for me is like part of the game. Beer, it should always be at hand, and it's better to have it in reserve, not just one bucket :)

Hi all, if you don't mind, let me add my two cents as a casino representative.
A drink can make sessions feel more entertaining but it also lowers control and can lead to chasing losses or making reckless bets faster than expected. Of course... the key is knowing your limits and keeping gambling fun, not emotional :)

Not at home, if I were in a live casino in say Las Vegas then that would be more of an event experience, so maybe then.

I rarely drink alcohol when I'm playing poker or at a casino. I always need to keep my bankroll and my actions under control and make thoughtful decisions. That's why I don't recommend drinking alcohol to anyone who wants to be a successful player. ;)

You had me at alcohol. LOL. I do both. Depending on the game, the mood, the time, the day etc etc ....I think I play better when drinking but others may disagree. I play way less nitty but may go overboard to a calling station. Try to find the happy medium.

I'm not against alcohol, if you're in a good mood and have good friends around. The main thing is not to lose control :)

I think drinking and gambling is a tricky combination—it requires a lot of self-control, because you have to know when to stop gambling and when to stop drinking! Good luck to you!
Yes, it's a dangerous combination. But with drinking, as with gambling, the one who knows how to stop wins :cool:

Coffee with milk is definitely a great choice. And it's possible that coffee with milk may give you some kind of boost in terms of energy.

Well, I've never been to a real casino, and the ones I've been to were the kind you find on cruise ships.

And yes, I was completely drunk because the ship had an open bar... But obviously I went with a small amount of money just to have fun and only played a few spins.

Generally, those aren't good combinations to mix, but it's still possible to do them responsibly! lol
I agree, alcohol and gambling are not the best combination and I think such a combination is permissible only for those who have a strong enough character and can stop in time.

I have not drank alcohol for over 2 years now. Poker or life, this is a great change with great repercussions. Sleep better. Better relationships. Healthier. Stronger.

It’s a very strange poison indeed. It’s also everywhere. So strange.

When your dad gets told that he should stop drinking alcohol and eating meat because he has stage 4 cancer, you might think a little and figure you might as well stop right now while you are still ahead of the (end) game!
Alcohol is harmful if abused. But if people drink a little, for a good mood, if there is a reason to celebrate, then it can help to relax and relieve stress.
