i like to taste a beer while i play, but i drink it slow to the point where i dont even get a buzz, i might drink a beer an hour, if that.
I tend to drink most of the time when I am playing. Just a couple beers though, no need to get tanked and hand over all my chips. It seems to just keep me loose enough to handle the length of some of the larger tourney's without getting too bored and donkin' out.
Please, don't stop them...I wouldnt recommend it , your judgement will not be at its best so if you are wanting to win in the long run its a no brainer.
Sorry just to clarify I do drink, but I don't drink alcoholic beverages...
