the choice is yours. Some players thrive with a drink in hand, while others prefer a sober approach. The key is finding a balance that enhances your poker experience without compromising your skills. So, are you raising a glass at the table, or keeping it strictly poker-faced? Cheers or no cheers?

It depends. If You are in a home game with friends, it's almost mandatory. :) :LOL:
But if you play to make money, it's not a good idea.
And for pros I think is totally forbidden, as in any work as well.

it is a very bad idea to play drunk, it's a total loss most of the time

I prefer to play without alcohol, as it confuses

No, you need full concentration on the tables.

alcohol and poker are not complementary, you can lose a lot of money if you are drunk.

If you play for fun it's great, if you play seriously or you can't lose money then definitely not.

No, just no. Gives you a false confidence next thing you know you are going all in with a pair of 2s and getting caught with you pants down. 😄

I see no reason to drink alcohol. Drink coffee at most
