How many people drink booze while they play?

I have a high pressure job and need to relax when I get home from work. My idea of relaxing is to throw 3 ice cubes in a glass, pour in slightly over half the glass with vodka (only ABSOLUT) and add in the mix. Then log into RHP and play my games and read the forums. 😵

How many of you drink to relax?

How many actual play chess while drinking??? 😲

Me,almost every night I play chess here!!

I do half a bottle of wine a night - the more I drink the more time I spend in the forums. However it is difficult to ignore "games waiting" when the forums go quiet: cue mistakes galore

I enjoy opening a bottle of wine cooking a decent meal and kicking back for awhile to dominate my opponents on RHP. I recently heard a theory, that alcohol consumption kills off the weak brain cells, hence strengthening the remaining heard by keeping the inferior brain cells in check. Obviously this is working for me.

I used to tend to go to work then go to the pub then come home steamers then play a few random moves then get up the next day and think 'Which blooming idiot has been taking my moves for me?'. I have cut down a lot on my drinking recently (Big sigh of relief by everyone), but i still play whilst a bit shmurbled (I just made that word up. Can you tell?), especially at weekends.😕😕😕😕😕😕

Would there be a fixed amount that you have to drink before a given move?

Since I only check RHP while I'm at the office, very rarely am I drinking while checking my games.
