Playing while drunk

[davehwm]

How do I convince myself this isn't okay? I'm in college and naturally end up back home on my couch at my laptop at 3am 3-4 nights a week. Usually I won't play any poker, but occasionally I'll fire up a SNG far out of my roll.

I play the $22s and last night I played a $109 and two $55s. Whether or not I cashed in any of them is irrelevant, I'm still pissed at myself and this has happened before.

I know I have a drinking problem, the question is how do I prevent my drinking problem from taking a chunk out of my bankroll?
