I know this is not right, but when I have problems, I really think that a glass of whiskey and gambling is a good idea.
You did not mentioned if you are winning and why is it a good idea is it because of the feeling or you have a clear mind when betting because of that one glass of whiskey, in my case I can't do that I can lose my concentration that will result to a lost, there are a lot of gamblers that perform well because of the stimulation brought by being drunk.
Being drunk will result to lose self-esteem and concentration which will bring you bad decisions in your life. Not only in gambling, but to the entire moments in your life because when you are drunk you will make some false statements, and most of the time you are out of your mind. that's why you need to stop saying promises which will you often forget when you return to your consciousness.
