Do you drink alcohol when you play poker?

[Waleswasp]

Sometimes a glass of wine when playing with friends in an online home game.

 

[andreypuch]

Of course not. I want my brain to be clear and think clearly.

I second this answer & thanks terry for my newly favorite emoticon
I best most people drink though, throughout the spectrum of stakes & game types

No,,,,but i smoke like a chimney. :canabis::girl:

 

[BelFish]

Sometimes i play with beer. I do not consider beer to be an alcoholic drink, because no matter how much i drink, i remain completely sober. And if you drink a glass of vodka, you already feel intoxication )))

 

[Pindiez]

Of course not!! I only drink a glass of water 😀

 

[Doobubs]

Lol i usually get pissed after i win. But a drink or three during the game i see no problem

There can be no single answer to this question. It all depends on the mood, the duration of the game, the level of bets, the company, etc. But I am not against this.

I like a beer or something while I play, but too much can impair your decision making I find.

 

[aixacarl]

I usually do it on weekends, not to get drunk either but it does give me extra super power haha!

 

[riff_raff312]

I like a beer or three when i play i don't like to be too drunk when i'm stacking all those chips i just took off you hahahaha!!!!!!!

I'll have a couple of drinks, but never wasted and play.

As I usually play tournaments and that translates to long hours, I usually drink mate!

I always have a bottle of fresh water.

Usually in the evening after dinner I can drink a can of beer

This is the winning strategy! If you're going to drink, make sure you don't drink enough to damage your calculation abilities. The best drink is water. Studies show that dehydration can impair your cognitive abilities, so having a bottle nearby is good form.

Also, if you want to drink heavily and gamble, then play some freerolls That's what they're there for haha.

i usually drink water, and sometimes ( when i play for fun) i drink beer or wine

 

[fishfood80]

Maybe 1 or 2 at the most. I’ve seen way too many guys at the cash game spew money because they’re drunk or “buzzed”. If you need a couple to settle down it’s whatever if it affects your game I’d stay away from it.

 

[Suzana2304]

Sometimes , it makes me brave

 

[TetraTap]

I like to drink 1-3 beers fairly quickly when at a new playing location or one where people are not familiar with me at the table - Not to get brave but to make them think I'm a recreational player - It works surprisingly well haha

 

[scrappypower]

no i was told it would be a bad i dea for me lol

 

[Hanosch]

I guess you should be making a difference between seriously ppaying to win and casually donking around a bit. Drinkikg will influence your game at a certain point so you shouldnt be playing the top of your bankroll in that casses i d say.

 

[owler]

why not

Hey, even Daniel Negreanu drinks coffee while playing poker at least in live streams and I drink water, It all depends about what you mean by "drink"

 

[mtmigmike]

Sometimes when I drink I want to play poker, but this is rare, you feel relaxed and play more aggressive, but this often leads to mistakes

 

[EvaQueen777]

NO YES no yes

It seems to me that the game very much depends on how much you drink, if it is a little, then the game will change, you, as people above, will play aggressively, relaxed, but if you get drunk already heavily, then, as my friend, you risk losing 20 thousand dollars), not everyone can save the amount of money and win DRINK:icon_king:turtle:

Hahahaha i also suffer from this! We just shouldn't do anymore.

 

[Sooted7s]

I personally do not drink, The only thing I do drink however is water. I have a feeling I will make even more dumber plays then I already do

 

[PB1981]

Is the best

Water the best thing you could do with this weather
