I played twice really drunk and I almost win! The thing is that it is not good idea.

If you want to win, for sure it,s better not to do it. If you want to have some fun and play some freeroll games, for sure maybe you can try it. Anyway believe me, it will be harder to win while you doing that.

Hello everyone, I have some questions about alcohol in poker.

1) Have you drunk alcohol when you play poker either online or live?

2) What do you think of moderate alcohol consumption as a disinhibitor method to play more concentrated?

3) What is your method of concentration when you play poker?

I clarify that I am not drinking alcohol when I play regularly, although I must admit that if I like to drink very occasionally when playing and moderately. :)

Greetings.

1. Yes I have... I realize my patience and play get much worse after about 2 drinks lol

2. It does not make more more concentrated it makes me more impatient

3. Listening to chill music or some random video playing in the back round for some reason just keeps me focused on the game.

Conclusion, I dont drink when I play at all :)

For those who play for entertainment, this question is not relevant. In the cinema, not everyone drinks beer, only those who want it. And for those who make a living from it, it's like drinking at work.

When I'm playing poker, I try to avoid as many distractions as possible.

The only thing I do that's distracting at the moment, is having the COVID-19 news on in the background.

Poker and alcohol

When I'm playing poker, I tried to avoid as many distractions as possible, and drinking certainly would be a major one, especially when you get to the point where you're blotto.

One of my favourite times to play, is late on a Friday, when all the drinkers, are getting home from their night out, and decide to have a late game of poker.

When playing with friends sometimes, in a casino or online, almost never.

Not usually. But occasionally, especially in longer tournaments, I like the odd small glass of rum. I don't think I drink enough to change my game noticeably. I find a drink or two can help steady nerves, especially at crucial stages like approaching the bubble or final table.
