In small doses it can even help you relax, but when you get drunk it will affect your reasoning, damaging your game.

Sake gives bad nutrition to play, but I think 1 to 2 cups would be fine

Now I'm coming along and telling you that I'm a consumer of alcohol for relaxation, when it's in excess everything is out of control.
I think that prepared people with strong character will not be affected too much, on the contrary it will be a matter of relaxation and wasting time between interesting hands in a tournament. , and when it's over he finds himself calm and at peace with his affairs.

Alcohol had a terrible effect on my game. When I'm drunk, I'm bold and stupid. And because I was playing drunk, I lost a lot of money.

I don't drink alcohol and I don't recommend it if you're serious about the game and the results.

A lot of people say there are three types of drinkers:
  • Sad drunk
  • Angry drunk
  • Sleepy drunk
I'm in the 3rd category, so drinking has nothing good to offer me when combined with poker.

I enjoy playing poker with a beer in hand—it adds a bit of unpredictability and fun to the game. In small doses, it can help you relax and loosen up, which sometimes even improves your focus and creativity. However, once you go beyond that, alcohol definitely starts affecting your judgment and decision-making. So, moderation is key if you want to keep the game enjoyable and not ruin your strategy.

I would like to ask people for the sake of interest how alcohol affects you and making your decisions when you play poker
Alcohol definitely has a negative effect on my game. Under the influence of alcohol, I start taking risks where I shouldn't, and if the situation doesn't go in my favour, I start losing patience. Usually, playing under the influence of alcohol leads to losses, and I think I'm not the only one who noticed this :)

For me, poker is a game that depends on concentration. I think that a little alcohol is okay, but with caution.
