No alcohol when playing poker, period. If I'm playing blackjack or video poker, I'll accept the free drinks knowing that I am going to lose money in the long run and that those bankrolls are completely separate from my poker funds.
The only exception is if you are a poker player who does not care about positive expectation. If you just play for fun, drink all you want....and make sure you're sitting at my table.

Hi!
It all depends on how much to drink. I played a couple of times not sober, I want to say that it had a bad effect on the game. When intoxicated you make a lot of stupid mistakes, you play not by mathematics, but just by luck. It is better not to drink, friends!

Alcohol is capable of unleashing courage beyond the limit, sometimes it can harm other times it can help, it will depend from player to player, and also the limits of alcohol consumed, a person who drank in excess, will have a game impaired without a doubt

I only play poker sober. I did experiment once in a pub game (UK allows them) and two pints of beer is enough to affect my judgement. About the same as the drink drive limit in England.

i cant remember to have ever played drunk . but i think that alcohol in most cases will hinder you from playing well . in fact i think that it can lead to disaster where you blow off all of your money
the only positive thing i can see of playing while drinking is that you are more relaxed and that you might have more courage to bet and call in spots which would be profitable but where you might have folded if you were sober lol
in general i can say that i will not play while drinking alcohol

It depends very much on the quantity.
A small glass of wine can certainly have a slightly stimulating effect. However, in my opinion, larger amounts are definitely not recommended in combination with serious poker play.
It could influence your decisions and tend to lead to a more risky gambling behavior, which can also quickly backfire.
Especially if you are involved in bigger cash games, you should rather do without it. Why should you put yourself at a disadvantage compared to the other players?
If the intention is to achieve sustainable profits, you should keep a clear mind to ensure maximum concentration.
In home games with friends, of course, it's a different story
