[b]I think we have to differentiate...[/b]

between playing drunk and having a few drinks while you play...

Of course, also we have to take into consideration each individual and the types of games we are playing...

If I was playing for serious money relative to my bankroll, and in tournaments that could go on for many, many hours, I would be very concerned about drinking and playing.

As a recreational player and typically only playing in the evenings after work, and on weekends, I enjoy having a few drinks and playing poker.  I rarely find that I make bad decisions due to drinking.  Sure, I do make a few bad decisions here and there, but who doesn't?  It never leads to playing bigger games than I typically play, and rarely leads to what I would consider, really bad decisions.

[B]Funny Related Story: [/B] I rarely play live poker (maybe once a year on average), but the first time I played a Live Poker game at a local casino, about 10 years ago, my gal, myself, her sister and her hubby all played in a $70 Buy-in tourney... I think we had 120-130 people in the tourney... I had to rush to barely make it for game time after work.  Well, I was enjoying the game and having a [B]"few beers"[/B]... but the game lasted for 6 plus hours as I made the Final Table and then some...

I have to admit, at that point I had passed over [B]the "Sweet Spot"[/B] and was starting to have some difficulty playing my best game... thankfully, during a break [B]We Negotiated a Chop at the Urinals[/B] and I made off with $1,500.

All Is Well That Ends Well,  Best of Luck on The Felts All!
