Played for a few years without depositing and once I deposited I never played mad or while I drank. If I want a beer, even one then I'm not playing poker. If I had a bad day at work, I'm not playing poker. My week day games or far worse than my weekend games and goes down to my mood. Can't imagine playing buzzed could give you any advantage. For me there are better things to do while enjoying a beer and being in front of a computer, it is pretty much at bottom of the list.
