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

[Pandu Geddon]

Alcohol can lead to anxiety in case withdrawal is starting to set in.

Either way I never advice the drinking and gambling or just watching games to go together because it induces the sedentary lifestyle and makes one prone to develop diabetes and heart diseases along with liver problems for addicted alcoholics.

Watch a match if you want to, stop munching down junk and drinks.

It's definitely better to avoid getting drunk. I think drinking a little is fine. But when watching a live match with friends, sometimes what makes us lose control is our friends themselves asking us to drink more. If done regularly, of course, there can be negative effects on health. I think it’s better to enjoy the game with common sense.

[Akbarkoe]

It depends on his personality and what is on his mind when drunk, it could be that someone is increasingly acting rashly because worries can come and become emotions when betting.

True, preferably when betting it is better not alcoholic beverages, in fact it can be but with a reasonable amount that will not make us drunk, it can still be.
I am also better off drinking regular drinks especially if I have a betting position, except maybe I am free from betting and enjoying the game by drinking beer it will not have any impact, except being very dizzy and sleepy quickly if it's me.

There are a lot of people when they get drunk, they don't know what they're doing and that's where they're getting the courage to do it.

And so if someone gambles and they're drunk, that's going to make the situation bad for them. They might be lucky at first.

But it's more of that they're going to bet everything they have and that's why it's not advisable to gamble and some beer on the side but if you're sober and you know your tolerance, it's fine then.

Of course the most important part in gambling is awareness of limits including everything else, this is one form that you are responsible in gambling and proof that you can control yourself so that you can limit anything that can make you lose, drinking beer will not be a problem.
But if you know you can not control well, it is better to drink coffee or tea or something else just if your mouth feels sour and a little skin nuts to add to your comfort.

I used to really enjoy drinking a lot of beer while watching football. And the result? It gave me kidney pain.

Yea, someone said same thing, he used to drink beer almost every day while watching match until he fell so sick, he was diagnosed of a disease which took time before he recovered and he was asked to stop consuming excessive beer. Personally, I could take beer but it's not something I do ever time I'm watching matche, I do it just once in a while.

Absolutely right, drinking can not help in making things as it will still make matter worse for one, but common sense as you mentioned is the key for one to enjoy and have a peaceful moment when watching live matches, as one won't lose control  or allow emotions to cloud their judgement, as drunkeness will affect their decision which might affect them negatively and the next when they return to their normal senses they will begin to feel bad or better still if your friends wants to push you in what you don't want to do, its important you leave them for your own safety.

Those limits will be gone if we're not sober and that's why if you're going to do some time to drink and gamble, you know yourself better than anyone else.

I'd take a coffee as it's more chill and relax when I sip one whether it's hot or cold. And other gamblers should do that as well when they think that they want something to drink when they're in their seats while gambling.

Drinking several bottles of booze while watching a live match isn't an attribute of anxiety, the only downside of it is getting lost about what's going on in the match, and focusing more on other personal conversation especially when the drinking is accompanied with some chops.

I don't know why I'm just seeing this thread after having this on my mind for ages. I do see Heineken adverts all the time be it world cup, Champions League, premier league and plenty of other leagues, they make partnership to promote beer, show how people drink beer and I do wonder how people drink beer and are able to watch football match, I don't think any person can be able to do that if they take less than 2 bottles of bear in a sitting.

If you want to watch match, maybe 1 is enough to be in the range so when you make discussion with your friends or people around you it will make sense and also when you lose if people banter you, it will not pain you. There are many people that has turned a football thing to a fight and it's because they were not in their right sense that's why they fought other people.

Individual preference, people drink for different purposes, for some they want to be happy, and to the invisible, they want to be heard or seen. Most fights in viewing centers usually erupt from drunk fans who couldn't manage their emotions over several banters that refused to go their way.

Depending the person alcohol can make them more emotive too, so they will feel more impacted by the game's results. Anyway, it's not the worst of the scenarios, because it would be much worse if he had drinked before placing a bet, and then placed a bet while drunk. In that case, impulsivity could have be present in a very dangerous way, with serious chance of betting a superior amount of money than he could afford to lose.

Drinking while placing a bet is the core cause of anxiety, alcohol consumption creates false dopamine around spending a lot, and making large promises, players who get high, and gamble spend more in a session, even the brick and mortar casinos draw profits from this indecisiveness, leveraging on free alcoholic drinks to lure tasty players to tipsiness.

Everyone with the way they see the act of watching football whether it's okay to be drinking alcohol while watching football or it's wouldn't make any sense. We all have our own reasons of watching football matches outside our comfort zone and enjoying every bit of the time spent outcome  with people and friends around us. Drinking alcohol can only make us to be quite confidence when arguing with other football fans in same viewing center.

That's a big business here when there are clubs and beer houses where they project the games on their screen. And so, watching live games with some bets on it is fun if you're with the other fans and bettors. That adds more excitement to the game itself because cheering and bothering the others that are against to you is fun. We've got a saying here that beer should remain in the stomach and not in the brains. Because there are irresponsible gamblers who drink a lot and does a lot of things that harms others and will say that it's not them and they're just under the influence of alcohol.

That’s true. Gambling is ordinarily addictive even for someone is in their right senses, let alone for someone who is already intoxicated by some substances or alcohol, that means it’ll only get worse because their ability to make rational decisions would completely disappear and the only thing they’ll most likely do is focus their attention and actions on making money, and when this happens, they’ll start making stupid decisions that’ll most definitely land them into more trouble.

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?

When i was younger. Back then i always drunk with my friends when watching a game or something. It actually relaxed my nerves, and since i didn't really liked sports, it made the whole event just a happy times with friends. I was more confident to talk with them and everything.

If i gambled on a game, negative results didn't really affect me and alcohol was making me numb. Somehow every positive feeling got trough though. And i wasn't gambling while drinking because bets were set of before that.

These days i don't really drink, as just drinking beer increases my anxiety and i have a 2 day hangover, even if i drink just a little. And it affects on my brain chemistry too much, so it would totally increase my anxiety!

With the satirical critique by Voltaire that states "common sense isn't common", can they at least take a couple cans to have a brighter foresight of the game? Haha! A drunk will find every excuse to not do something that will not deprive them of sipping their beer. It's medically/ morally not acceptable to get drunk to watch live matches--- because why? Are people being slaughtered on the pitch? If that's a way to stay nonchalant, it only gets worse when you can't feel your legs below your waist, while in the viewing centers. Know what else happens? Messing the whole place up!

[Bluedrem]

We have to remember that alcohol can sometimes weaken the human nervous system. So at that time a person can often face losses by making wrong decisions. Gambling is already a risky addiction where a person can get addicted very easily and since money is directly involved here, a person can face huge losses due to wrong decisions. So I do not support betting while watching a game with beer or anything like that.
Gambling requires a sharp mind and a losing mentality, that is, a strong commitment to control oneself is the most effective method for a winner to keep his money safe.

[Odusko]

I used to really enjoy drinking a lot of beer while watching football. And the result? It gave me kidney pain.

Yea, someone said same thing, he used to drink beer almost every day while watching match until he fell so sick, he was diagnosed of a disease which took time before he recovered and he was asked to stop consuming excessive beer. Personally, I could take beer but it's not something I do ever time I'm watching matche, I do it just once in a while.

I have more fun when I watch football match alone, most matches I stream them online and for that reason I don't have any motivation to watch with others in public places, although I am OK with few family and friends coming together to watch football most especially when we are all supporting different clubs/teams, but beer is limited in most places that I have such gathering since is within the home.

I just don't allow myself to combine betting and alcohol, even if it's low-alcohol drinks, and this has been a principle for me for a long time. If I want to place a bet, it's not the right place for alcohol, and I've simply separated these two activities in my life. Although I do occasionally crave a beer and watch a match with my favorite teams, I'm not going to give up on that. And of course, I've heard many stories about how, under the influence of alcohol, many players lost huge sums of money, even though they didn't intend to do so. Alcohol seemed to push them into making these mistakes.

Football matches are not played everyday rather league games happens weekly and if you are drinking too much that means you take more than 1 bottles during eash game which is bad for your health. Excessive intake of anything will definitely have effects on your health but you can go with water instead if you have to be taking something during each football match.

[Bright0515]

if there is one thing I know that alcohol does is to calm your nerves when you are feeling anxiety, only hard drugs spikes up your heart rate but that doesn't mean that excessive alcohol intake is advisable. If you are watching the game only and you feel anxious alcohol can actually help but in a situation where you want to place a bet perhaps a live one then i would not recommend anyone to take alcohol because this is capable of making you take decisions that are irrational and based off emotions.
