I think all the aspects which did not support your a game are not good. Such a example is alcohol. Because of alcohol your mood could be bad for normal decisions. And if you play more loose you lost more hands.

For me I don't think drinking alcohol and playing poker is a good idea because poker is all about making the right decision at the right time.

No, I have never had this. For the last 5 and a half years, I have not consumed alcohol at all and I am very happy about it. Before, when I allowed myself to drink alcohol, I played poker only when I could control my condition and fully give thought to my actions. In those moments when I drank more than the norm and could not control myself, I did not gamble for money and poker in particular. Alcohol relaxes and adds courage, but even under its influence you can control yourself and not do stupid things if you drink within the norm. In general, alcohol is evil, from the moment I stopped drinking it, I realized this. I like to be sober and sane all the time, which I wish for everyone else.

I almost never drink alcoholic drinks, as it is very unhealthy and too high addiction. Sometimes I could afford light beer and no more than 1 liter a week. But lately I don't even drink beer. Yes, on New Year holidays I will drink some champagne (or red wine) and add 2 extra 0.33 liter cans of elite lager. But at the same time I don't plan to play poker after alcohol. :unsure:

The truth is that I don't know, I have lost and won with alcohol but I don't know if that's exactly why.

Sometimes I've lost money because I play drunk, that's not a good idea.

It's not my favorite practice to do this combination of poker and alcohol. But I believe that for some people it can help to relax anxiety when playing.
