Alcohol + Gambling = Recipe for Disaster?

Gambling is very risky and it requires gamblers to be in a good state of mind while on it, too much intake of Alcohol messes with someone head and since gambling requires one to think straight I don't think it's a good combination therefore gamblers shouldn't drink and gamble at the same time to avoid making wrong choices that would cause them ruins. We all know how annoying losing can be sometimes, with a booze in your hands you'll definitely take more to try calm your pressure but end up causing more ruins which is why it should be avoided.

It is even funny for anyone to think that they can combine two activities that could lead to unstable state of mind together, gambling is an emotional thing although some people manage to calm the tension that comes with so I don't think it is adviseable for anyone to take alcohol while gambling to avoid blaming our loss to the alcohol, I understand that some people has form the has form the habit of not taking responsibility of their actions, you never can tell some gambers might decide to blame their loss to alcohol, if gambers can blame casinos for their loss then it will be easy for them to blame alcohol.

IMO, This isn't about blaming alcohol or not, but I think people who drink alcohol before gambling can cause major problems, both before, during, and after gambling. The reason is, before gambling, they can gamble without thinking carefully. While gambling, they can lose control. After gambling, they can become more emotional, and when they meet family, if he/she find a differents opinion, this can lead something bad happens.

I think fusion 2 addictions together can result only in bad things right ? it can be alcohol or any other substance and the result will be the same.

As soon as you combine those 2 , you can say goodbye to your betting money , being able to play straight , knowing when to quit and so on. So yea , simply stay away from these sick combination that will bring only disaster.

It's true, because the individual who adds two addictions together will be in fact boosting his impulsivity, leading him to act without thinking carefully and logically about the consequences of his decisions. He won't be a responsible gambler if he lacks self-control over his emotions, and as we know, in gambling it's a must to be a responsible gambler, otherwise you won't remain functional for too long...

I don't think alcohol is an issue for everyone, therefore, it's our duty to develop self-knowledge, so we will discover that by ourselves. In positive case, then it must be avoided, but if it doesn't affect the behavior very much, alcohol consumption can continue without further prejudice, since it's done in balanced dosages.

We all know gambling already carries risk, but what happens when you mix it with alcohol?
Personally, I’ve had a few times where I ended up gambling while drunk , whether at a casino or even online, and the experience was way different.

When you’re drunk, you lose that natural fear of losing. Suddenly, betting bigger amounts feels normal because your judgment is off. Based on my own experience (and I can count these moments on my fingers), I ended up losing about 4 out of 5 times whenever I gambled drunk.

It really felt like a recipe for disaster - even though it seemed fun in the moment.

Have you ever gambled while drunk, either in physical casinos or online? Did it change the way you placed bets, and how did it turn out for you?

Of course I've done it, especially at the online casinos I use in this country.
You've already answered your own question in your story. Everyone will experience this because their minds will be influenced by your drunk body, and you will feel more confident and less concerned about money, so you can bet as you please as long as you still have money in your pocket.

I strongly advise against gambling while intoxicated if you don’t want to lose a lot of money. It’s great if you’re lucky because you’ll be happier, but what if you’re not? Of course, the big loss is yours, and it’ll be frustrating when you sober up because you’ve spent a lot of money without realizing it.

I know the risks and will never try it. Drinking a little is still okay, but not to the point of getting drunk. Alcohol consumed in moderation can make people feel quite comfortable. But those who drink excessively tend to lose control. For gamblers who can no longer manage their gambling well, combined with being drunk, it certainly increases the betting risk.

[HelliumZ]

Yes, I've gambled while drinking alcohol, but not drunk. It's a very bad idea, but I know there are a lot of people who do it, especially in brick-and-mortar casinos. I don't see myself drinking and playing online. I don't see the point in drinking while locked within four walls.

I think doing so will make you more likely to lose, because alcohol affects the way you analyze things and generally leads to poor betting decisions.

Those who physically participate in casinos or gambling mainly consume alcohol. I have talked to several gamblers who consume alcohol while participating in gambling. And one benefit of consuming alcohol is that consuming alcohol temporarily forgets the feeling of losing. The human brain has some bad feelings when it consumes alcohol that do not bother people. The tendency for people to recover when drinking may not be the same as when gambling while drinking. I don't know if these things happen to all gamblers, but when I spoke to some gamblers who drink alcohol, they shared their feelings.

When you are drunk, you may not think with your mind and your decision-making power may not be as good during that time. To be a good gambler, you need to control your emotions and it can only be achieved once you are in the right state of mind.

I know a few physical casinos that will facilitate you with alcohol, and I don't know if their intention is that gamblers take a drink and focus less on gambling, and even if they lose, gamble more and lose more.  The good thing is that with online casinos, this cannot be done unless the gambler is alcohol lover and he drinks while online gambling.

I've never consumed alcohol while gambling because I understand how disastrous it can be. It only took me a few stories from other players to understand how dangerous it is. I realized only one thing: nothing good comes of it. Because when drunk, even if a player wins big due to a sudden stroke of luck, they won't follow basic account management rules, but will continue to gamble furiously, placing bets they would never have made sober. Therefore, I personally never plan to do it, even without a single beer, because afterward, they'll want more and more.

Gambling while under the influence of alcohol is extremely dangerous, as alcohol often causes a loss of self-control, ignoring the potential risks. Even when sober, gambling can sometimes lead to a loss of self-control and addiction, and gambling while under the influence of alcohol can significantly increase the risk of unwanted consequences.

Firstly, I quit both smoking and drinking at the same time, which was almost 15 years ago, so I have not drunk and gambled at the same time. However, I have witnessed some people who are drunk and gamble at the same time who win something big, while some end up making a wrong decision when gambling due to being tipsy
What I can say is that we should all understand ourselves and what works for us when it comes to gambling.

Congratulations on your success in quitting smoking and alcohol completely, as I haven't been able to quit completely, despite my best efforts, especially cigarettes.
It's true that some gamblers win when drunk. But only slightly drunk, as some gamblers also find it easier to concentrate when slightly intoxicated. However, don't overdo it, as excessive intoxication will definitely interfere with your game, causing drowsiness and loss of focus. Those who lose are likely due to excessive alcohol consumption, but gambling in a normal and healthy state is a good thing. However, with what I mentioned, there are gamblers who are like that.

Thank you.
i was able to quit by leaving the friends and people we both drink and smoke together, while i also did some changing of city. You can see that maybe it will also help you.
Having said that, I believe the gamblers who lose the game when drunk don't know what works for them, and their limit when it comes to the combination of gambling and alcohol.
I like myself. When I am still drinking, there's no way i will combine the 2 and win the game. I understand, accept the fact, and never go through the routine.

Generally it is good rule to avoid alcohol with any activity that requires focus or self control. I heard a lot of stories where alcohol went hand in hand with other bad habits and it is like some sort of multiplier of bad habits.

In my opinion, when gambling, the most important skill is knowing when to stop, and alcohol can decrease inhibitions, which in turn numbs part of the brain that stops us from doing stupid things.

On the other hand people who gamble for fun will maybe enjoy gambling more, but it that case it's good to keep gambling funds limited to avoid spending fortune on gambling while drunk.

Isnt then people should avoid alcohol at all? Because its always necessary to be in focus and control yourself. As others judge us all the time, one wrong move, anywhere, anytime can be fatal for reputation.

Frankly speaking, I dont see such big problem from alcohol + gambling combination, if you know how to control yourself and is able to do budget planning. Take $100 with you, deposit and it will be maximum what you can lose. Then no matter how much you drink, $100 is your maximum lost amount.

Alcohol + Gambling = Recipe for Disaster?

As always, there are exceptions. I had some of the biggest wins in my life when drinking moderately. What's more, I am convinced that to some extent, it helped me not to lose it all back that night, as when sober, I tend to overthink and get nervous sooner than I should.

Of course, that only applies to moderate consumption. If you drink too much, it will affect all aspects of your life in a negative way. And yeah, if one of those aspects is gambling, the consequences will be much more severe.

[bakasabo]

I have a question. If a person is dead drunk and can barely hold a glass, then if this person makes a bet, will it be accepted by dealer or do casino even allow such person to play or be in casino? I would not like if next to me is a person that is so drunk, that he can 1) lose balance and fall down 2) interfere my gambling by talking loud, cursing and etc 3) such person can pause game (suppose he fells asleep for couple of minutes while you play poker).

Trying to calm the tension by taking alcohol is like pouring gasoline into a burning flame, it doesn't solve any problem but makes it worst, the best way to ease the tension of losing is to quite for a while, restrategise or look for other source of fun that would make you happy, that's if the person is one who gambles for entertainment. Apportioning blames have become part of some gamblers lifestyle so I'm not suprised at your statement cause if people can blame casinos or what we call (Village People) in my locality for their own decisions, then blaming the booze is possible.

Gambling becomes more fun when you mix it with alcohol. I know that it's a devastating combination for many people but for me it was one of the best combos. I am a very responsible gambler, I never deposit more than I can afford to lose. I drink during gambling because when I drink, I feel very good and I also feel very good when I play live blackjack. Drinking also helps me in socialisation, so when I drink, I gamble and it's a double happiness for me. I also socialise with live dealers and it brings me even more joy. Just be responsible and everything will be fine. Have brakes on yourself. I never lose control, it doesn't matter how much drunk I am, so that's probably why it works well in my case and hasn't caused any problem ever in my life.

I guess drinking alcohol moderately may not be that bad, but when you become drunk while gambling continuously, that’s where misery starts to happen. It happened to me one or twice I think, and the outcomes were definitely undesirable. It’s like I lose too much, something that I don’t know how. But the fact that it gave me a headache after, that only means that it shouldn’t be an ideal thing to do.

It’s okay to drink, but always know your limits. Otherwise, if you gamble while drinking a lot, the feeling is high, until you realized in the end you lose all the funds you’ve got, which is definitely an amount that you can’t afford to lose.

Anything in excess can be a cause of harm to you, be it gambling or alcohol. In the beginning, you will not feel that you are going to lose because when you first start gambling or drinking alcohol, in the case of gambling, you think that you are winning and you will be able to profit, on the other hand, when you start drinking alcohol, you feel that you are relaxing. But over time, when you become addicted to it, you will face losses and it is really difficult to come back from here. In my opinion, it is better not to focus on either of them.

[yslyv]

I’d say definitely yes. Nothing should be risked under the influence of alcohol. Gambling and driving are the simplest examples...
The smartest thing to do when you’re drunk is to sleep

I would like to correct you if i may Keenan, if you allow me
Under the influence of alcohol nothing works, you can't gamble, you can't drive, you can't be with your woman
So getting drunk as a rag only brings disadvantages, being cheerful is fine but you should avoid doing the things described above

[Bitcoin_people]

Oh man, mixing booze and blackjack is a recipe for disaster, like that one time my buddy got so hammered at the tables he started confidently betting what he thought were dollar chips, but they were actually the hundred-dollar ones. He lost a whole rent payment while loudly trying to order a margarita from the dealer. The next morning, he woke up with empty pockets, a headache, and a story he definitely did not want to tell his girlfriend. Trust me, you don't want to be that guy, your wallet and your dignity will thank you later.

It is definitely that the person failed to control himself, rather I think one should not drink in such a way that one loses control. If one drinks excessively then one will definitely get drunk and if one has money then one will definitely go to the table and bet it all and lose. When one comes to his senses then one will definitely regret it but we should always have a sense of responsibility so that when we drink moderately we can keep ourselves under control. When one loses control then of course it is harmful for oneself so everything should be done normally it is not good to do anything excessively.
