Alcohol and Poker

[MrPokerVerse]

Never mix the two. Even go further and say I won't play tired, bad day at work or in a fowl mood. Really not worth my time to play an hour or so and not complete and MTT because I've lost focus or interest.

Alcohol and Poker always worked for me...

Spoiler

When other players drink.

 

[Sschafell]

It's definitely not a good combination

 

[CaioRJ]

I only drink water, think alcohol could harm my decisions

Alcohol and poker makes you play lose.

 

[shanest]

If we take freerolls, then half of the players there play like they're drunk.

Did you lose money under the influence of alcohol because you were braver?

I lost a lot of money several times playing drunk. I've learnt my lessons and I don't make such mistakes anymore. If I drink, I don't gamble

I've played drunk sit go above my BR and won, but most of the time playing drunk was a disaster.

Gave up the demon drink decades ago. Never had a problem with it but realised it is no good ultimately. Alcohol and poker is probably not a good combination, but alcohol and driving is even worse.

Did you lose money under the influence of alcohol because you were braver?

Alcohol doesn't really affect my behaviour. Drunk or sober, I will never spend extra money because I always have a very limited amount of it
In other words, in order to spend extra, you must first have extra.

Alcohol makes you play more aggressively, I don't think it's a good idea to play like that, when you play poker you have to have maximum concentration to make decisions.

I don't see it as a good idea. I have played a bit online after a few beers and looking back at the hand history I definitely played a bit looser. Luckily no real losses, but it certainly affects how I play.
