I never drink while I game, because I am too young.

At a flgs I never have, however at a friends house while gaming ( REALLY funny with D&D ) we sometimes do, however I never have nor will I if children are present.

Only in friendly games and only if other people are drinking (don't want to be THAT guy).
Oh, and also after midday.

Don't drink much when I play, but sometimes I do believe that it would make the die rolls seem better than they are.

I think having a beer or two with your friends while gaming is all well and good. I wouldnt be getting hammered if i was gaming.

If we're all adults and here to have a good time, what's wrong with a drink or two?*



*usual stuff about not overindulging, know your limit, etc.

Health issues prevent me from drinking. Otherwise I did and it was fun! Unless its tequila, then people cheat.

When ever i game it tends to be in the morning and unless im hungover then i don't drink in the morning

I don't drink, but don't mind others that do while gaming. At least until you spill your beer on my floor Steve!

Drink your beers after. I personally have no problem with drinking. I have a nice healthy relationship with Guinness and Jameson, but they don't game, so we hang out elsewhere. But people get drunk, forget rules, knock stuff over. I don't care about any tactical advantage I gain, it feels hollow and pointless to win against a drunken buffoon. The house rule is do as thou wilt, but anyone getting trashed is table banned for the night.

I'm to young to drink alcohol -legally- but even if I weren't I would really only drink Chocolate Milk, -mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Chocolate Milk, It delicious! - and root beer, but not together.

Gotta say, though.

Warmachine is so much more fun with beer involved.
It's so much easier to ignore the utter douchebags who play it in my area with beer.

me and my frined used to game while drinking, however, the morning when we woke up with mostly broken armies covered in kebab and pizza and teddy bears bieng raped by CSM while the dark eldar were sat feeling each other made us think gaming while drinking was a bad idea.

we moved gaming night so it didnt clash with drinnking night.

No alcohol for this ork, we dont go well together,
but i am a pothead 24/7.

Everything goes at my table, but it's not a good game if anyone is too wasted. There are too many rules and stuff to keep track of, anything other than a light buzz and you're bound to lose by forgetting to play/use something..

This poll is so old that people who said they were too young when it started are likely old enough to drink by now.

If i'm playing at home I might have a few beers. I generally avoid drinking while gaming though. It can depend on the game too. When playing something more social/group oriented then maybe. But when playing something more crunchy like classic Battletech, no way. It would have to be a game that is not as demanding of my attention span.

Maybe a couple of beers after a game if I haven't driven and the pub is still open.
