Default (OT) - Drinking while playing

I know this is OT, but I'm sitting here patiently waiting for a double up in the stars $22 Deepstack tourney. However, I am drinking a Corona, I'm on my 2nd one, with lime! God, I love Corona, and if it wasn't for this tasty Mexican beverage, I probably would have busted long ago. I think I actually play better, and more patiently while succombed to a little alcohol. Anyone else? 3 cheers for Corona!

I would say that playing under the influence is -EV, but since you're drinking piss water rather than, you know, beer, go for it.

Drink a real beer you sissy!

Booze is the only way I can cope with assholes calling off 1/3 of their stacks with K4o and hitting AK4 flops against my AQ.

A few drinks are +EV.

A lot of drinks are -EV.

Ya.. I find that I don't get as pissed when I take a beat if I've had a few beer.

Are you racist KneeCo?

I have some Alskan Amber, Anchor Steam Porter, and a few other amber ales in the fridge too. I'm diversifying with Corona, ya know.

I didn't realize bad beer was a race?
No, I'm not racist lol, I am however Canadian, and we don't take the subject of sub-par beer lightly.

Canadians cheat at beer.

You multi-play accounts to get like 5% more alcohol in there...

Well, after busting on a 10-9-3 flop with top 2 pair, up against 2 flush draws . . . OF COURSE they hit, I'm done. Thanks to this brew I'm not tweaking out. . . still heated. What are your guys' favorite brews?

Drinking while playing is my middle name. It's very -EV, but I play for fun more than $ so I don't mind.
