Do you drink alcohol while playing online casino?

By Thomas Neanderthal


When you play online casino o your computer, do you drink beer? Whisky? Do you have any problem with this? I suggest to think about the effects of alcohol on your black jack gaming skills. Why blackjack? It's only an example since black jack is the most popular casino game played in internet. Also, blackjack does not require Einstein kind of brain, but still a certain amount of analytical work and concentration is required along with a good memory.

When you drink alcohol, it affects the message relay to the brain, making it sluggish. There is a delay before the brain connects to the impulse messages from sensory organs. At the moment when the message is returned the brain has already been approached by lots of other new impulses. As a result the body has trouble keeping up with returned messages. This is similar to insertion - you hit the brake, but your car keeps moving. When you are drunk your brain must work much harder. That means it does not have time to fully process all effects around you, and a slight time delay between movements are thoughts that may result in a distortion of the senses.

Playing for real money in a casino while you are drunk is not really a good idea. Most of you remember that alcohol is served very readily in casinos in Las Vegas. Did you ever wonder why? Because the casino makes a double profit when you drink. First, you most probably lose your money playing games, since your brain does not function properly. Second, they make profit selling alcohol itself. Good for them, but not so good for you.

You may say, that players are surrounded by hundreds of other people when playing in Las Vegas casino. Almost all of casino visitors drink quite heavily, it seems so natural for you to drink as well. This is the trick, but those who are serious about winning in casino, however, should eliminate, or at least significantly reduce, their alcohol consumption while in casino. Even thought it is difficult not to party and have a fun together with all other players, you should make your own decisions and behavior properly while you're there and if your real idea is to win. If you come to make money, then concentrate only on that. Keep in mind that most these people who are drinking alcohol while playing, they are losing money, but you may not.

When you're playing online blackjack you don't have all the distractions that you do when you're in a real casino so it should be much easier to keep your alcohol consumption low. Pace yourself throughout your playing session and stick with to lower alcohol beverages like beer or wine. If you've got people over to your house to play along with you try to keep the emphasis on the game rather than the party.

But if the party seems to be taking over the focus of the evening you can always stop playing before you start losing. This is, of course, not an ideal situation because if you're like most online players you really want to play the game, but in the long run it could be better since you at least won't lose some money.
