Drinking vs Gambling

[liasbaa]

Alcohol is an addiction like gambling, but alcohol causes physical problems as well as psychological harm. Someone who uses alcohol uncontrollably may experience health problems or harm others in traffic while driving. However, someone under the influence of a gambling addiction can only harm himself/herself and only psychologically. There are people who commit suicide due to gambling losses and harm those around them, but I have excluded them from the discussion because, proportionally, they are much fewer in number compared to the problems caused by alcohol...

It is impossible to compare size of problem causes by alcohol to gambling. First of all we cant count number of users to make comparison fair and calculate %. We also can not check how many amont those who drink, cause problem. We can try to measure problem using money. But then it will be obvious that gambling is more problematic. A person can lose thousands, millions, all gamblers around the world lose billions and billions. With such evaluation, what size of problem can alcohol cause? Car accident (car can be fixed), do damage to property. There are exceptions with huge financial damage, but they are exception.

Most physical casinos have special drinking arrangements and this is a tactic by casino owners to keep gamblers more immersed in the entertainment so that they become intoxicated and gamble uncontrollably. A gambler goes to the casino to gamble regardless of the overall outcome whether they win or lose, and they drink alcohol with it. This gives the gambler justification as long as he can remain in control. Here the risk of a gambler losing money can be greatly increased because drinking alcohol can cause him to lose control of himself. Even if a gambler is not intoxicated, drinking alcohol can increase his excitement. Alcohol creates even more risks with gambling.

Alcohol comes with a lot of problems health wise and aside that when you see people that are addicted they are so in responsible but when it comes to gambling it does not have any health challenge so  as for me if am to choose am going to choose gambling compare to drinking. And the worst gambling can do is to make you broke and when you get help that way you will be able to maintain good finances status and when it comes to that  the only thing that is making a lot of people become addicted is greed if they can fight against greedy they you can gamble clean.

As much as addiction is bad, gambling is better because anything that has to affect your health I don't really fancy the idea so there are factors people need to look at before they can start anything, because you need to understand the Implications of what you are doing. So we don't have to face the consequences of there decisions, it is very important to know. So that if it is something you can deal with because, some people are just influenced and they don't know what exactly what they are getting into.

If you start gambling after drinking alcohol, there are many disadvantages. I think it would be better not to gamble moderately. Because it increases the desire to gamble and it becomes very difficult to control yourself, so it would be better to refrain from drinking too much alcohol while gambling.

Alcohol affects our cognitive reasoning and makes us tend to act overly emotional especially when we get overly intoxicated. There's nothing wrong with drinking while gambling but it must be done moderately. There's a reason why drinks are given out for free in a casino,those that are not smart get carried away by this because its free and at the end of day they end up losing a lot of money.

Yes, that's exactly what happens , I know you can Drink Alcohol while gambling, but I personally don't recommend it, we don't know if we drink too much out of emotion and there comes a time when we can't control such activity and that's where it ends, it's better to be safe , I'm not saying anything about having a drink, or a beer, but no more.

Both are very terrible things, and if you take them together, it can make the situation much more worse than worse. Drinking alcohol will make you drunk, and losing money will make you emotional, and when you take these two things together, you don't even know what you're doing, it can make for a very bad situation, so it's better to control one of them, but if you take them together, anything can happen.

You're right is almost impossible to judge correctly unless we give both of them a trial, which is not ideal. So I believe with the experience we have gathered so far regarding drinking and gambling we can judge almost correctly. Though we only need to pay more attention to drink because I know that we barely drink but if it's gambling I believe majority here have tested it and see how it goes. So therefore I'm going to judge from my experience, I have seen a guy who is addicted to drinking and according to his neighbors that they keep advising him severally and whenever he receive a word of advice from them he always feel remorse but after that he will still go back to drinking, and this is exactly how most gamblers do. so therefore I think this two almost work the same.

In my case, I drink socially. Before, when I was at university, I drank too much and played without getting drunk Nowadays, I don't It's better not to mix these activities because it's dangerous, It's like playing with fire, and I don't recommend playing with fire because we'll get burned.

I never considered the incident from a financial perspective. When I hear “traffic accident,” I think of the deaths that occur. We know that the vast majority of traffic accidents are caused by alcohol. Of course, we cannot speak in terms of exact percentages. Someone experiencing psychological problems due to gambling losses could cause more harm to their surroundings than traffic accidents caused by alcohol. However, problems caused by alcohol are more visible than those caused by gambling, and as OP said, there is an absurdity that catches our attention because accessibility is the opposite...

If we can maintain alcohol tolerance in our body, maybe just to increase adrenaline, we can try it, but when our tolerance level is poor, don't try this because we may do it unconsciously and make us lose money due to gambling.

Unless there are other situations such as when you are ready regardless of whether the gambling done will make us win or lose and we are not bothered by it maybe this can be a consideration for gambling while drunk but if we are not ready for it then it should not be done.
I personally choose the second option in this case apart from I know that my body's tolerance to alcohol is bad I also don't want to play around with the gambling that I do.

Why is it that alcohol ads are everywhere and they are easily bought in stores nationwide with only a warning of only drinking moderately and yet gambling is not allowed to be the same?
In roads, there are ads of alcohol. Where funnily enough is you shouldn't drink in. While driving. But still there are big ads and multiple ones in roads about alcohol and the warning that says Drink Responsibly. Does that one warning make it safer?
Why can't we just do the same with gambling? Alcohol consumption is extremely risky not only to the person consuming it but to the people around him. There have been so many cases of crimes due to alcohol consumption. Many people's health destroyed. So what makes it ok for alcohol ads to continue in public but not gambling?

Both gambling and alcohol consumption are physically and mentally harmful, so although alcohol advertising is allowed in public, gambling is not. The reason for this may be that there is more financial loss in gambling. Those who drink alcohol suffer physical harm in this case. But in the case of gambling, people suffer financially, which increases poverty and large financial losses put the entire family in danger. When someone suffers financially or mentally due to gambling, he is not the only one who suffers, he also puts his family in danger. Compared to alcohol, there is more financial loss and mental loss in gambling and unlike gambling, there is no possibility of large financial losses in alcohol. But yes, you are right that instead of banning only gambling, alcohol, smoking and gambling should be equally banned and controlled in public promotion because these three are physically, mentally and financially harmful to each person. And because of these three, criminal acts occur more.

Gambling does not just affect an individual, but it actually has an effect on everyone close to them. Families often bear the emotional and financial burden caused by gambling addiction, leading to stress, conflict, and sometimes even broken homes. It’s a reminder that gambling is not just a personal habit but a social issue that can harm loved ones as well.

That's upto you if you want to drink. If you are going to a war, you are expected to go their and focus on your enemy and not go their to do another thing differently. Why will a serious person go to casino and be drinking bear? Make it make sense! If you are going to gamble, focus on it and move on when you are done. Maybe you can spend small time there and then move home, don't just drive if you are drunk otherwise you know police will make you there friends.

I don't think if I have ever see any person that is drunk and he is able to make money from casino. Anyone gambling and drinking is only making contributions to casino they will never get back. There was a video of a woman spinning and urinating on the floor, the video went viral on X and all I could say was alcohol is very bad for women, there is nothing good from drinking, I don't encourage drinking even if you are not gambling.

And that is an indication of gambling addiction that is difficult to treat, the impact will be very much on the surrounding environment and the closest people, they will also be affected by the actions we take while experiencing addiction, not only financial losses but also worse such as family, and this can also happen to alcoholics.

These 2 things are very detrimental to oneself and the environment if consumed in excess it will increase the instability in speaking gambling responsibly or drinking in moderation, especially if these two habits are in you.

Drinking too much liquor will make you uncontrollable and in the long run your brain will be damaged and your stomach will be chronic, too much gambling will make you prioritize emotions and desires and when done in the long run will pull you into poverty.

When gambling gets out of control, it is very harmful to the family and this should not be denied in any way. Many people's lives are ruined because of this gambling. At first, they lived well, but due to the negative effects of this gambling, their beautiful family is on the path to destruction. Family unrest, quarrels between loved ones, financial crisis, all these can be due to the harmful effects of gambling. Therefore, one must be careful when gambling, if taken in excess, it can definitely be destructive.

It is not gambling that causes their losses and ruin, but their own foolishness that leads to their downfall. Their mistake is prioritizing gambling over their duties and obligations, which should be their top priority. They neglect their families, jobs, and other responsibilities, forgetting them, and only follow their desires and urges to continue gambling, hoping it will make them rich quickly. Instead, they lost everything and ended up stressed. Instead of realizing their behavior, they worsened their ruin by turning to alcohol as an escape to relieve stress. And when they developed a gambling addiction alongside an alcohol addiction, this deadly combination led to their ruin.

Of course, that's true, but a player's emotional stability is crucial. Besides stress at home, at work, and in everyday life, a player must also withstand the pressure of gambling, which comes with money pressure. A common mistake players make is over-risking, as trying to win back losses leads to the most serious mistakes, which should be avoided. Alcohol only makes things worse, and you should never try to drown your problems in alcohol; we've heard these examples a thousand times before. You simply need to learn from other players' mistakes rather than repeat the same ones. That's why I prefer to study the experience of other players and professionals to improve my game.

when you take these two things together, you don't even know what you're doing, it can make for a very bad situation, so it's better to control one of them, but if you take them together, anything can happen.

That's the bad thing, when you no longer remember what you're doing, that's the moment of greatest fear, because the things you do in the moment don't hurt, they hurt when you wake up from all of that, that's when we're in trouble, that's why it's not good to drink Alcohol when you're gambling or driving a car, because it can have Disastrous Consequences.

Yes you are right, a person is led to downfall due to his own wrong decisions. Because every person should give importance to his work life and his family. If a person does not do this, if he focuses more on drinking and gambling, then he will bring his own bad times. So every person should take the right decision for his life.

Again there are many who consider gambling as a source of income. Doing this is never the right decision for a person. Because there is no guarantee that you will win in gambling. A person should gamble for fun.

If we can maintain alcohol tolerance in our body, maybe just to increase adrenaline, we can try it, but when our tolerance level is poor, don't try this because we may do it unconsciously and make us lose money due to gambling.

That's the control you should always have in fact, I have that control The bad part starts when you get really dizzy, and if that moment arrives, you should immediately stop drinking alcohol It doesn't matter if people start asking why you stopped drinking or something, you don't pay attention to it Because there are people who start joking about why you stopped drinking , you ignore them It's a thousand times better to have control over ourselves and our actions.

I also agree with you and this is why I also think that drinking alcohol while gambling is very bad, because when someone drinks alcohol and is drunk, at that moment the sense of judgment is completely impaired.
At that time we do not feel anything, but later when we come back to reality, we see that we have lost everything, and this is the most terrible thing, and for these reasons drinking alcohol while gambling is the worst.
It is important to maintain self-control, and to keep your mental state in order, but if you do something that makes your mental state not right, then you will not be able to control yourself normally, and the results will only be negative.

You made a very strong point. There is such a danger in drinking and gambling together since both of them are in need of self-control, and alcohol deprives of it entirely. Drinking makes people lose focus and make emotional and not logical decisions, and this is the worst way of thinking to gamble.

At that time, it may be entertaining but after the alcohol effect has worn off and the truth is realized, it will come to regret. This is why gamblers should never gamble when they are not in the right frame of mind, and they have to know their limits and look at it as entertainment and not as a form of escape. Alcohol and gambling are two things that should not be mixed together as it brings about unnecessary losses and disappointments.
