Sometimes I drink a little wine or beer when I play but not much, it's as if to accompany, I almost always make it long to the tournaments

In my opinion, any substance that alters my perception does not suit poker, you have to be sober and focused while playing

Tea and poker - yes :)
Alcohol and poker - NO.
I drink alcohol very rarely, only when there is a serious occasion or a reason to celebrate. I generally don't like alcohol, it just doesn't taste good to me. Tea is exactly the drink I have always preferred. I really like tea :)

Coffe is my drug to play with Poker. Alchool only Whiskey or Wine on special ocasions. Your decision making changes entirely while drunk, so I usually stay away. Playing drunk also has a few benefits, I could make some risky plays that I usually would not do if sober, lol.
But most of the time I stay away from alchool and choose to approach poker more like a job instead of a hobby.

It seems to me that you will not be able to win a poker tournament while drunk, most likely you will fall asleep while playing. Therefore, in my opinion, of course, it is better not to even start drinking during the game.

Alcohol is a big no for me while playing poker. It clouds my judgement and I'm unable to concentrate as I get very sleepy.

It's important to drink responsibly, especially when engaging in activities like poker where focus is key. Excessive alcohol can impair judgment, so it's advisable to moderate your consumption if you choose to drink while playing.

Drinking alcohol, even in small quantities, significantly worsens the performance of poker players. Strong drinks exacerbate emotions, and a person becomes their hostage. Having started the game with a strong hand, the player recklessly raises the pot, confident of victory and expecting a big win. The cold calculation required in poker disappears and the risk of encountering a bad beat increases.

No, I don't drink alcohol in my life, I haven't drunk and I'm not going to drink it because it's best to exercise and train is better than spoiling your body, but of course I always play poker for everyone without music or other means I just love poker, so I don't like anything else but poker

Drinking alcohol can stimulate you, or calm you down to a point; it can also be uncontrollable and lead you to regrets
