OK

It's OK if you keep it to a minimum. Poker is a game of constant decisions. A clear mind to make the correct poker decisions is critical to success at the tables.

I agree you can not take alcohol when you have important tournaments ahead of you.

alcohol takes precedence over reason and emotions
this is very detrimental to the game and the loss of BR

There is no need to drink at the poker table,as you will lose your entire bankroll.

It's like working, you do not drink in the workplace and in poker, if you start a game session and you start it to make money, you need to focus and motivate the result. Drink this obvious flaw.
In general, I do not drink alcohol if beer and sometimes only .. But in some aspects, when a lot of money is at stake, I think it will not hurt to drink to neutralize nervousness

I used to drink while playing poker and i find it works pretty well for 2 reasons,,,1:It takes away fear. 2:It makes you aggressive too. :boxing: That's why you see alot of players drinking at the tables,,,and at home.But it's in some peoples nature to overdo it,,,,:stoned: and other's just can't handle their booze. :eek:

You can drink when poker is a hobby.
if the game is like a job, it's dangerous to drink.
suppression of fear is not always good ... fear should not be at all in the game, there must be self-confidence and action or no certainty.
if much happens at the most crucial moment

On the one hand, alcohol and poker - great fun. On the other hand, he pushes to questionable steps. As a consequence, more often it leads to the loss.

Drinking and playing are absolutely thebworst thing u can do. Especially online where u can just press a button and lose an entire stack. And it goes for all drugs. I make it a point to never use drugs or alcohol when i play. U dont need it, it will never help you

Generally booze and poker don't mix. I don't mind having a few drink later on in a poker session. But fun fact I did when a big 162 with about 10 beers in me. But I know for a fact that being drunk makes me a worse player over all so I try and stay away from it.

Ilari Sahamis (Ziigmund), made a fast career as a professional poker player, but he became famous not only for victories, but also for dubious antics, which are explained by his craving for alcohol. according to Ilari Sahamis himself, alcohol caused a loss of almost $ 3,000,000 per session.

It's ok to have a couple so long as it does not impair your ability to make good decisions.

I never drink while playing poker even if it is free. I do love it when others are drinking. The more they drink the looser they get and I just wait for the right moment to strike. They might have a great time drinking at the table but most will go home broke!

Definitely not compatible in a competitive setting. If you're playing a home game with your friends and you just want to drink, talk, play, and have a good time that's perfectly fine. If you're playing seriously though you need to keep a clear head and no disorient yourself so alcohol is a no go.

Alcohol and poker are completely incompatible. Under the influence of alcohol 9 times out of 10 you will lose your money and at best not the whole bankroll!

I believe that alcohol and poker can not be combined. Poker is a game of patience and discipline and alcohol is incompatible here.

Alcohol is not only not compatible with poker, it is not compatible with life at all. How can the poison be useful ?
