How many of you do it? I find it brings out the anger and competitiveness in me.

I eat a huge double meat sub, start drinking like crazy and start playing games. I find I perform a lot better in games, but I don't remember any of the story lines or what happened most of the time. I'm in the american revolution in AC3 but I don't remember any of it lol...

I just did it for the past 2 days with old buddies from high school & I'm the complete opposite. Also tried it high and I definitely focus best when I'm sober.

But I guess the good news is that I finally found/tested a way to make Tequila bearable.

Also, run Nazi Zombies with me!

There's a fine line. Slightly buzzed and I find that I have sharper focus and tend to take more chances. After one too many, my reflexes become sloppy and my playing devolves rather rapidly.

When I could still drink, it made L4D2, TF2, and Guitar Hero seem more fun and made me more competitive. Only with a beer or two though, start drinking for reals and then things fall apart lol.

Alcohol can be a depressant in some people and a stimulant for others.
It work both ways for me, depends on how much I drink

12.9 KD/R in MW2 when I've got a healthy buzz. Every other game suffers.

If I drank and gamed I would probably turn into a rage monster when the **** talking 13 year old, whos voice hasn't cracked yet, starts kicking my *** in CoD.

Although the fastest time I ever achieve in DiRT2 was within 15 mins of getting a concussion.

I like to play 5v5 Counter-Strike and 2-3 beer gets me in the right zone!

I also turn my heat up to sauna-like temperatures... you can't be cold when you game!

Actually it's a depressant for everyone.

I tried playing Mass Effect 2 stoned once. As soon as I started I run into some glitch where my character started floating in mid air and I couldn't move. Spent about 2 minutes spinning the camera like an idiot cause I didn't know how to fix it, tripped the hell out, and turned the thing right off. The game trolled me hard. Gaming stoned....not even once.
