The point is do not ever drink whiskey or alhokoh if you want to bet I think it will be safer and can be controlled because without alcohol, we will be concentrated strongly to focus on our gambling game.
Sometimes it makes you entertained more, drinking is not really a problem if you don't drink too much and make yourself drunk.
Other people just have a high alcohol tolerance so they can drink while they gamble and they are not affected a lot in terms of decision making.
It has happened a lot even in my area with home gambling they are always drunk and drinking whiskey but what happens is the problem keeps happening even they fight with each other because of their uncontrolled emotions so I always stay away from drunk drinks because this will bring bigger problem.
That's unfortunate, but it doesn't mean it will happen to everyone, personally I also have encountered problem in the past when I gamble while I am drunk, I didn't get involve into fight, but all my money was gone as i was so aggressive and I don't feel the fear like I usually feel when I'm in normal state.
