During the game, alcohol only hinders me. Self-control is lost and attention is scattered. During the game, it is better to use something neutral. Or don't drink anything at all.

It helps me with aggression but it doesn't help me play tight.

When I drink I fall asleep, so my game is over at that moment. I feel better when I listen to music.

When playing for money, you should not drink alcohol in any case.As practice shows, when drunk, you can make a lot of unnecessary mistakes and lose your bankroll.

For a small friendly game, its fine, but alcohol can impair your judgement. Poker is not a game to play with poor judgement.

But that said, when playing live, I always have a drink or two. Partly to loosen up because of stress, and partly to get vodka and redbull into me to give me the "I just hit a monster" shakes.

A "smoke" can be nice if it is legal in your jurisdiction. Relaxing without losing focus.

But if I was in a WCOOP event or something, no, stay away from booze. It will not improve your game...unless the problem in your game was excessive good judgement.

Cheers,
