I consider myself addicted to coffee, the truth is I have no idea if I drink more coffee while I play, but I know of players who use other types of drinks, red bull or things like that. Won't these kinds of beverages end up doing any kind of organizational damage in the long run? I think that in my life at most I will have drunk 2 cans of red bull, I remember buying them so that the December hangover was not so strong, but I drank one to test the flavor and within minutes I had tachycardia, I did not drink again that .

Just water here, like to stay hydrated. Also a clear head helps in some of those long MTT to maintain focus.

I do not believe that anything will help you play better during a session, it is ideal to drink water, juice, coffee and these things to stay hydrated, satisfied, quench your thirst and etc ...

If you need to take some type of energy drink or alcohol to play with it is because something is not right, and you will not be able to reach your potential.

If by drinking you mean alcohol : never. I enjoy playing against drunks because its like dead money on the table. Sure they will put some bad beats on you ,but at the end all their chips will belong to you

Response could sound obvious but I'd say take any type of beverage as long as it doesn't alterate any of your brain capacities.
I personally like to drink linden tea, it helps a lot to relax.

Coffee and/or water. Sometimes tea, or americanos. Never any cream/sugar/additives. I was told a long time ago Red Bull is bad for the heart. I dunno if it's true or not, but I haven't had energy drinks in a number of years now.

Usually, before the game, I like to drink a cup of coffee. I avoid drinking alcohol because I think alcohol and poker do not go well together.

I like to drink orange juice while I play for vitamin C. It helps me stay co-centered and not get too tired at the end of the game.

Yet drinks which include caffeine go well with poker right ...
