It has been said a hundred of times but as much as people can deal reasonably with alcohol and consume it to relax or also other drugs like weed, as much is it necessary to draw the line between relaxing to regain power and exaggerating and weaken yourself. Gambling is one of those things that sometimes can create pleasure, peace of mind and a distance to the things that stress yourself. It doesn't have to be negative if someone really uses it to get some rest. But most people can't get the management right between resting and dangerous procrastinating until it is too late to solve a problem.

This can distract you if you're focused on the game, but if you're worried about your team if they happen to lose, it won't always be an easy rest, especially if the bet loses. Alcohol and weed are also very dubious ways to relax, but many people use these methods because they are available, especially alcohol, since it is available almost everywhere in the world. To refrain from such methods, you need to have a strong will and a stable psyche.

If you get drunk or use weed the benefit is different as it was give you pleasure even if you spend a lot. Unlike gambling, as you spend more and lose it all, you never feel happy but are disappointed with the results. And gamblers get into addiction because they are desperate how to get their money back. It was difficult for them to get out of such an addiction when their mind is always thinking about the money.

The same can happen to you with drugs because what you do is you make yourself forget things or consider them in a more relaxed way, but as soon as the effects of drugs are gone it can result in depression and issues feel worse than they actually did before or than they actually are in the first place. All these things that make you forget time are bad in a very high number of cases. Some people get along well with drugs and use them as a tool, but too many people don't realize when they lost control over the drugs and the drugs / gambling actually took control of them.
