Alcohol is a very powerful poison that presses hard on the fast forward button of your life. It is one of the most addictive habits. It weakens your immune system, greatly reduces your concentration. It gradually destroys your nervous system, eats away at your self-confidence, and negatively affects your ability to relax. It also tastes disgusting and will cost you at least six figures over the course of your life.
I think there's a scale.
If you can have a beer or two over a long live game session you should feel any effects, if you're drunk while playing you're putting yourself in a situation where your decision making skills are compromised while playing a mentally challenging competitive game.
I don't really drink that much anymore so it's easy for me to say but I don't really think there's a reason to be drunk while playing poker. The game is hard enough I don't think we need to make it any harder for ourselves.

I have never spent money under the influence of alcohol. I drink very rarely and very little, only when there is a serious reason to celebrate, such as a birthday, New Year, or Christmas. I can drink 2-3 glasses of wine, but not more.VNagy333 said:
I usually drink rum and coke when I'm playing. It can actually give you an advantage over some other players who will underestimate you as an opponent. That is of course dependent upon your having learned to function normally while drinking. It can be done if you have trained yourself to make your plays based on the cards and players, rather than emotion and hunches. 🙂

I did once experiment in a pub low buyin game and I found that two pints of beer was enough to start to affect my judgement, which is about the same as the drink-drive limit.
