Do you think buying beer and watching live matches could increase your anxiety?

[DPHOR]

Well this is just like an argument between us watching live match between Juventus vs Galatasaray match. Which they have already concealed 1 v 2, and the match is still currently running. A friend of mine asked of having a beer while we keep watching the match as it plays, between us I mean our 3, one person insisted that we shouldn't buy anything that this could Make think so much that if the game doesn't go as we planned it would lead to much anxiety and pain towards us. Although I did bet on the game so I am actually neutral from the game but I am also supporting Juventus to win against Gal.

Now, my question is; do you really think having beer while watching the match could increase your anxiety toward how they may probably play out or result to, could this be true?

[Findingnemo]

I don't advise anyone to drink but AFAIK, drinking alcohol even if it is still a beer will help with dealing thr anxiety rather than triggering it but once the alcohol wears out the hangover kicks in.

The answer is not everyone can tolerate same amount of drinks, so whoever thinks that is good can follow, no need to do that.

And seriously, this comes under gambling discussion now?

[SmartGold01]

Does this really matter?
I do not think it has to do with anything that concerns your winning or not, and having a bottle of beer or alcohol can not change your games that you had already booked.
So, buying a bottle of beer is like just using it to whine away your time while you game keeps running.

This is not true, beer has low content of alcohol unlike a pure spiritz which can get you intoxicated and increase your anxiety depending on how your body handles it. If you buy a bottle of beer and sip while watching the live match, it will not increase your anxiety unless you go buy the whole bar, and that will not influence how the match is going to end. A sport lover should not even take too much of beer while watching match because it doesn't help you to see the match wrll.

[Royal Cap]

Haha, how can a bottle of beer increase your anxiety? I think after drinking your nerves will become weaker and your emotions will work a little less. So I think you will be less worried about the outcome of the game, You may drink beer for fun while watching the game. Since you are watching the game with friends, you can drink beer to watch the game by being naughty or joking. However, since we watch the game or match to enjoy it, I would not tell you to drink, Because in that case, the seriousness of watching the game is lost.

[Joeboy]

Beer usually have a level of alcohol in it, and when taking excessively could affect your emotion in such a way that you would even care less about the result since your focus will now on your own personal pleasures.... I do take beer before and even during match, am even sure I would do so while watching the match between Benfica and Real Madrid coz I earlier on stocked up my freezer with some bottles of beer  But then folks shouldnt be reckless in their drinking habits, they should always apply moderacy...

[Stablexcoin]

I don't see how drinking and watching live games increases anxiety because personally I think it depends on the individual and how they relate to losses.

Maybe to a certain extent, drinking could influence your decision in betting but not really the anxiety level. I was at a gathering recently watching live football, and a couple of people who bet on games were seen drinking while watching the game.

I see it as a way of keeping the mind busy while waiting for the final outcome of the game.

[7juju]

When I'm watching football I like doing it with a bottle of beer, that's if I'm not smoking, this makes me enjoy the the game and allow me pay close attention to every details of the match. This has in no way increased my anxiety, neither has it had any impact on the outcome of my bets. So I don't know were your friend come up with that idea that drinking beer while watching football can lead to an increase in anxiety. From experience having beer while watching matches, makes you more passionate.

Alcohol is known to have different side effects in different people, but it's quite possible that it can bring on feelings of anxiety. It is effectively a drug after all and intoxicates you, but is also known to have a depressive effect which coincides with anxiety. I think like anything, as long as you are self aware - which might be difficult when drunk - then you'd be able to pick up changes to your emotional state if you're paying attention. Combine that with a football match where people can be really invested in their team winning and you can feel all the highs or lows throughout the game. It can sometimes feel like a rollercoaster and if you were to throw a third element like betting into the mix it can end up even more chaotic.

[Anayochukwu]

There's nothing wrong with taking bear while watching match, all this things are just person decision because not everybody would be able to carry them. But without even told we are meant to know that gambling doesn't work with anything else except luck, so anybody that is taking bear to increase his or her chances of getting winning in gambling might likely end up in more pains when the game didn't work out for you. If you want to take bear while watching matches we shouldn't take it because of the match so that Incase if you lose you would be some how in control yourself.

alcohol is not friendly to a gambling person, because when you are drunk and you are wining, you are over excited and when you are losing you become to aggressive and even panic as a result of that. not all gamblers that drinks. but for those that drink, they may not be far from the truth.

[famososMuertos]

OP:  
First, you assume that people are anxious and that drinking alcohol increases their predisposition to anxiety.
I'm not here to answer you, just to tell you that you should gamble with the premise of having fun, that is simple. We can't get stuck in these kinds of threads just because we don't really understand what gambling is. Although, in a way, you don't have to understand anything — it's "fun." The game is what matters as entertainment.

I think, and unfortunately, sports betting has turned watching a football match into the objective of having to win a bet, and that's not exciting — it's not the essence of the game. Therefore, if you sit down to watch a match, you should enjoy it, and at the end of it, well, you either won or lost a bet.

^{Disclaimer: Now, the beer thing... in fact, if you're completely healthy, it should be part of the entertainment. I'm not saying I support the idea that drinking and gambling should be linked, but in the family setting you're suggesting, it's about having a good time. Just be careful not to confuse it with drinking in a casino, etc.}

Excessive intake of alcohol is not good general but infrequent intake of alcohol ones ina while during leisure time or time you are with friends and selecting some games with little amount of money is not bad at all, but people will have different opinions about this just like you did. Dieing weekends, we are in a bar, with air conditioner on, searched some barbecue, pepper soup and other things like that, enjoying  them softly with you beer and watching the match on the screen with other friends. That is very good for me but during just 1bor 2 beers is enough.

It's important to precise at what time to have alcohol. If you placed the bet then go watch the match live with some bottles of beer, nothing wrong and anxiety will leave your mind for a while. But if you drink enough beer to get drunk while watching a match, then alcohol tells you to place live bets, this is most dangerous I think. Consuming drugs or alcohol would influence your decisions and can lead you to make terrible things.

It's also worth mentioning that we shouldn't advice anybody to drink alcohol whatever the reasons. But about anxiety, having few beers once or twice a week will eliminate the stress with or without watching matches.

[Agbe]

I don't really like the taste of alcohol but from the few that I have tasted it i didn't feel like my my anxiety increased in any way, as a matter of fact it helped to calm me down. if you are watching a live game and perhaps you favorite team is losing taking a light bottle of beer would not hurt as long as you are taking it moderately then it is okay. You might only have issues when you take it excessively.

[Stepstowealth]

Now, my question is; do you really think having beer while watching the match could increase your anxiety toward how they may probably play out or result to, could this be true?

Beer has always been associated with football, Men usually have a bottle of beer to spice up their viewing experience. The effect it has on everyone is different, this is why if it makes you anxious, then maybe you should avoid it. Every one is not the same, some people are quite okay while consuming beer and can totally control themselves.

If it is not good for you, quit its consumption.

Taking beer doesn't have anything to do with how your bet game play out. How will that be possible? The players on the pitch doesn't even know you as you gamble to their favour or against them. It never will matter on what will happen to the outcome of the game you bet. If you take beer while watching football match, it can only help to relax your anxiety or increase it depending on how the alcoholic content in the beer usually interacts with your system because bodies are different. Some people become dull and inactive when they take beer and so if such people are watching and drinking beer while match is going on, they won't be hyperactive.

[SatoPrincess]

Although I did bet on the game so I am actually neutral from the game but I am also supporting Juventus to win against Gal.

I don’t understand how you can be neutral when you made a bet on the game.

Now, my question is; do you really think having beer while watching the match could increase your anxiety toward how they may probably play out or result to, could this be true?

I don’t see the harm in having a beer or two. For most people, it’s customary to have a beer when watching sports either at home or in the stadium.
PS: OP, you should rephrase your question because right now it’s not well understood by most.

The first step towards having a healthier mental situation is to understand that what we do at home has no bearing on whether we win or lose the game. The variations in the effects of alcohol on each of the individuals undergoes on us is what makes our emotional reactions to watching subjective. We should break the idea of drinking being creatively related to the luck of a team or their winning. It is through keeping our head that we will be able to have fun as we watch the shows without becoming involved in a mental state that does not acknowledge the established laws of cause and effect.

It pretty much depends on the amount of alcohol and also on the specific reaction each person has when consuming alcohol.

There are people whow indeed feel more anxiety when they start drinking alcohol, while there are others who do not feel anxiety, but rather feel more relaxed and calm after a few drinks.
My friends like to drink while watching their football matches, it makes the ambience to feel more relax and open to whatever the outcome may be.

We cannot universally categorize alcohol as a substance which make people to feel anxious, when in reality, the spectrum of those reactions is very broad.
