killamch89 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Now I don't indulge in this kind of activity but I know of someone who does but I'm not sure what he even gets from it because his explanation is "it's his life he does what he wants." Are there some other reasons why some people like to drink excessively during a gaming session? I'd like to hear some reasons as this phenomenon stumps me.

kingpotato Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Its dont think its a special or surprising phenomenon, Its just alcoholic people doing what they like while drinking, this can apply to any alcoholic person, they would watch tv and drink, listen to music, etc. And well yeah it is his life and as long he is not doing anything that harm others I believe that it is his right to hurt himself by drinking, lets not sugar coat it , alcoholism will eventually lead you to an early death.

You have a valid point there but I just don't get why you'd play a game drunk when you need co-ordination and focus to play most games - especially multiplayer games where teamwork is really needed.

It does make for some hilarious commentary during online sessions though especially when your teammate starts puking in the middle of it all.

skyfire Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I don't consume alcohol. I kind of suffer from caffeine fatigue already. So not going to waste my life on alcohol and drugs in first place. I think addiction part also needs to be taken care of for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was never a heavy drinker to begin with and I don't drink alcohol anymore either because my dad used to drink heavily and he stopped when I was born and he advised me to do the same.

skyfire Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I think upto age of 30 nothing is sort of the issue but after that time it can be pretty difficult for the body. So having healthy eating and drinking habit is necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylanC Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I occasionally have a few glasses of wine/a few cheeky vodka and cokes while gaming. Just helps me to relax sometimes. I don't do it all the time, but it's nice to chill out with a drink while chilling out with a video game, too. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, ok. That I don’t do that much when I’m gaming. Being that drunk and playing games would probably make me spin out and be sick. It wouldn’t be pretty.

skyfire Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Indeed and in fact during the game it can make you take wrong decisions more often. Which for some game is not going to end up well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a guild member in a MMORPG who was stone cold drunk most of the time we were online playing and kept having to stop to go puke. Although, I'm not sure he even knew where the bathroom was.🤣 The Blackangel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality vs Adventure Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Drinking while gaming is completely pointless because you reach a point where you won't even remember important things. So drinking with a story based game will ruin it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I don't drink often, only when I have a craving. But that said, RDR2 has a strange effect on me. When Arthur picks up a bottle of whiskey, I always want a shot. So I keep a bottle of Evan Williams beside me. It's 100 proof, and my favorite. I don't take a shot every time, but a lot of the time I just get a craving. I haven't been drunk in forever. I keep myself in check, but I do give into the urge once in a while to take a drink.
