Playing while drunk

[Riverman]

When I play live, drinking makes me want to play lower. When playing online, it makes me want to play higher. Why this is I don't know. If you really don't want to play, just delete the software before you go out. If you are hammered when you get back you probably won't have the patience to re-install it right then.

Set aside a small, separate drinking bankroll that is on a different site. Its easy to stay within limits when you don't have much money. Don't play the main bankroll drunk. And now you'll learn how to play drunk. Or man up and quit screwing around.

There is a large difference between drinking and playing poker and drinking and not playing poker.

When you party/drink alcohol you are not playing that night PERIOD. There is plenty of time to get drunk on nights that you dont play so dont become a tool by playing drunk...you are supposed to play against drunks at the table not be one of them.

Exactly. I suppose he could have a drinking and gambling problem, but he should definitely figure out how he should solve the drinking thing.

Personally, I hate not being "fully conscious" when I play...I make enough monkey plays sober.

It's a drinking problem fueled by the life style I live and the environment I live in. It's not a "come home from class and have to put a glass of whiskey to my lips". It's more of a "Woo!!!! I'm in college!!! It's Wed/Thur/Fri/Sat night!!!!!! Time to get drunk!!!".

I'm very well aware of my drinking habits and monitor them closely. If the same habits continue after I graduate from college (which I highly suspect they won't), I'll tackle that problem when I get there.

I do appreciate everyone's suggestions and I think this thread was very beneficial for me. Thanks guys.

If you thought you got drunk and had lots of sex during college, just wait until you're in the real world and all of 3 months older. You will need to improve your game a bit, but that's a concept you're obviously already familiar with.

If you're like me, you'll find yourself drinking less so you can play more.
