When I play at my house, there is always beer or wine or scotch or something.

At tournaments sometimes my pals and I grab one next door in between rounds.

Drink deeply and lustily from the foamy draught of evil.

Sometimes, yeah. Keep it moderate tho, Its not much fun if you pass out during the middle of a game and wake up with a Daemon Prince stuck in the middle of your back.

I have a beer most days when I come home, so a beer or two over the 2-4 hours a game takes isn't a big deal in my mind.

I have a 15 mile drive through Mad-Max-Style traffic to and from my FLGS and the vast majority of the people I game with are minors anyway, so I stick with near fatal doses of caffeine and sugar on gaming days.

Driving while you play? That's pretty impressive. How do you fit the table in?

I have a couple of beers during our friday night roleplaying session, usually. And if my mates come round for some board gaming or wargaming on the weekend I might have a couple too. Not really interested in gaming drunk though, and certainly wouldn't show up to the shop drunk.

My wife bought me one... I just can't bring myself to fill it with hooch and bring it down to the FLGS. I think that would make it official.

I don't drink at all. I do know a couple of people who drink and game. One was even booted out of a tournament for being piss drunk and obnoxious.

I pretty much always drink and play. This is my relax hobby and so is good beer... So its like a must. However the only time I don't drink and play is if I'm at the Local Game Store. Me and my friends have actually made a drinking game mission for 40k that is friggin awesome.

I don't drink but I wouldn't mind if I played with someone that drank a bit, so long as they didn't get drunk or obnoxious.
