Fully depends on the person and how much they are tolerant.  There are very few times, online anyway, where I am playing and not drinking.  I usually always have a drink next to me playing poker unless it is a morning session.  Personally I drink everyday so I know how it affects me and how fast it affects me.  Im generally a very slow savory drinker so I know it does not really affect my game until I get to the 3rd drink which is usually 4-5 hours into a session.  There have been times when I know it is affecting my game and thats when I turn off the drinking and you just have to have self control to do that.  Obviously if you have no control over your drinking you wont have control over yourself or your game.

I will say one thing though many might not think about and that is (I have done this in the past) is that I drink somewhat heavily while playing as a training tool for my brain.  I knowingly drink too much and still try to concentrate during long sessions.  I use this as an "exercise" for mind in a way that if it can handle the alcohol and long session and still be focusing how much more prepared will the mind be when I am drinking little and it is a shorter session.  Its like running 5 miles when you know there is a mile race coming up.  Your brain will be more used to being asked a lot of so that when times are easier for it, it can handle it better.  That might be flawed thinking and of course dont drink to you blackout or anything like that but I believe it can be used as a training tool for your mind.
