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

[Nightwalker(NW)]

Gambling and alcohol are most times being characterized because people who gambles do love alcohol. But it's not always advisable to gamble and consume alcohol as it could leads you to more loses where you wouldn't be that able to gamble with your normal senses rather being controlled by the alcohol you have consumed. Although it's not entirely bad , but when doing it there should be limits and at least a bottle of beer may not drive crazy.

It just depends on the individual, but for me I believe that having a beer or two while watching a game,  in most cases, increases the anxiety rather than decreasing it.

That's in your own case, I think having a beer while watching a game is very common among gamblers and this makes me feel that the reason why it's literally becoming their habits is because it helps them in reducing the pressure/ or stress that may be confused by gambling, I have seen a gambler who panic almost everytime he gambles especially when the outcome didn't work as expected, but ever since he started hanging out with his old time friends especially during weekends while watching football his friends will just get him a bottle go drink and ever since he started practicing that he always return back with a smile on his face even though he didn't win from his bet yet you will just see him in a very good mood, Although it depends on gamblers just like you said.

Would there be a uniform effect of having beer while watching a game live to everybody? I think it varies from one person to another. As for me, I'd like to have a drink while watching a live match with friends. Especially if we're betting on a certain team or player, it would be best enjoyed with a few bottles. That's what we normally do whenever we watch NBA playoffs, a boxing match, and other games. It's more fun.

Although betting and drinking at the same time aren't encouraged and usually don't go together well if uncontrolled, they sure are a good combination if you want to have more fun. Sports bars are a nice place.

Don't drink while you bet because you may lose control. If you lose, your minds will difficult accepting the lose and will asks you to keep gambling.

That will not good for you especially if you drunk because if you having beer while watching, you may get drunks.

If that is happens, you will not thinks too long to place another betting. It is no problem if in second bet you can win but if not, that will triggers you to place another bet.

Maybe drink soda will be good so you will not drunk but you can still enjoy the match.

If a bettor is a beer drinker it depends on how the alcohol reacts on his body if it increases anxiety or not but for me I don't mind taking a few beer while watching a game, it makes me enjoy myself more. If you gamble with amount that you can afford to loose you wouldn't be anxious if you're going to lose your bet or not infact the beer will help put you in a lite mood. I know that some bettors don't like to watch live matches that they put their money on, whatever you know that can inconvenience you when you place your bets it is best to avoid such things. Gambling should be enjoyed not putting excess pressures on yourself.

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.

Same question i asked myself, unless he's talking about when it gets abused. These drinks don't usually have a high percentage of alcohol so for it to be abused the gambler must have taken about two to three bottles and when alcohol is taking excessively some people experience palpitations easily especially when they get triggered by something. It's better to be on the safe side and drink moderately.

I look at it this way. Not beer but anxiety. Anxiety comes from the fear of losing control. You can not control the outcome of the match but you can control your reaction. If a friend is already thinking something bad is going to happen that is a signal that they may be too emotionally invested in the match. In that case skipping the beer might be a good decision for them  but that is not a universal rule for everyone. Instead you can talk it out beforehand the goal today is just to spend time together no matter the outcome.

Actually it isnt bad to drink beer while having that leisure time and watching up your bets but its somewhat recommended that you shouldnt be that making yourself get drunk at the time  that you would be doing betting or gambling because alcohol could affect out your mentality and emotions at the time that you've been doing this. If you are that drinking in moderation then it would be just that fine but we do know that there are individuals who do end up on becoming careless at the time that they are under the influence of alcohol and this is something that must be avoided if you do want yourself that not be putting up on some potential trouble. There are those who do made out some foolish actions on which they would be regretting later on specially when they had that spend up tons of money just because they've been that careless and confident.

Some doesnt mind off about on whats tomorrow as long they do on the things that they do want then this what matter the most. So it would be that depending on a certain individual.

Drinking some bottles of beer while watching match is normal most times I love doing it because it makes the time spent to be more fun and entertaining, however I see no way it ease anxiety in our gaming streak or whatever way and even if it does is just for temporary.

That's the more reasons I always stake what I can afford to lose when ever am gaming because one thing i can't compromised is my peace. Furthermore it more harmful for a player to start going above his or her limit then when things isn't going well or didn't goes as planned you start looking for a possible way of slowing down anxiety which is wrong.

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?

I think this can amplify the emotional aspect, because when you drink alcohol, you become more relaxed and start reacting to events in the match more emotionally. It reminds me of watching a game in a pub where everyone is drinking beer and discussing the match, it’s always very loud there, and every dangerous moment triggers strong emotional reactions from the crowd. But in that state, I definitely wouldn’t want to place any bets.
