I imagine what it must have been like. I don't usually drink while playing. Maybe one day I'll do an experiment.

I tend to drink beer while playing. While I try to keep it in moderation, I must confess that in one tournament, while doing fairly well, I actually fell asleep! Can (or will?) anyone share a similar experience?
This happened to me too, but it was a long time ago. Now I drink alcohol very rarely, and if I do I never play poker. In my opinion, alcohol and poker should not be combined.

2-3 times a year it happens that I play in a state of intoxication. But I think it's very wrong...

Sometimes playing for fun is nice to drink a cold one, if playing an important tournament is a no for me.

I never drink alcohol when I play poker. I feel like I could not focus on the game if I did.

I've never played drunk, but there was a story, my friend very drunk dialed an express from several football matches, he barely hit the keys and won $ 800

No, I don´t drink alcohol when I play. I probably will lose my focus and you want to avoid that.

I usually drink beer while I play. While I'm trying to keep it in moderation, I must admit that in one tournament, performing pretty well, I really fell asleep! Maybe (or will it be?) anyone to share a similar experience?
Yes, beer is sometimes possible, but it's better not to abuse it, you make a lot of wrong decisions!

I personally don't drink alcohol while playing, especially in online. For me it's a question of attitude to the game - if you are just having fun while playing and playing not the results or to get better, or learn something, so why not to have a cup of beer or smth. When I play offline with friends that would be only with alcohol :D Because firstly you are just hanging out with friends and during that process sometimes you play poker as just a fun game 🍻

I'm trying not to mix seratonin production with alcohol, but if on this day when playing was a holiday, I sit down and play drunk

from alcohol during the game there are only problems, although of course the percentage of 3-bet in a bluff will be higher than usual):ROFLMAO:

Haha, never fell a sleep in a tourney, but it has happened I am having a beer, then I do very well in tourney, like the other day when the tourney ended up in taking 7 hours I was a bit tipsy towards the end.

But I do poker for fun mostly, so I dont mind having few beers while playing

I don't drink alcohol when I play poker, but sometimes I can drink a few cans of beer to relax and take a break from a hard day. When I play poker drunk, I make a lot of bad decisions and can lose a significant part of my bankroll. Therefore, it is forbidden for me to drink and play together)😁

I never get drunk while playing, maybe only 2 or 3 beers while playing. No different than water or iced tea to me. But, nonetheless, the alcohol does have a tendency to dull the senses, and/or cause a lack of concentration. Definitely not the best idea to consume any alcohol while playing.

No drinking and playing. I prefer to be alert and attentive while playing poker.
