We drink alcohol even though we know that it is harmful to the human body. I have seen some people who gamble while intoxicated. I think gambling while intoxicated is a big wrong decision. Because when a person is intoxicated, he is not in a normal state, at that time if he gambles, he is not in control of himself, so he cannot even think about whether his money will be at risk by making a wrong decision.
if it is a literal alcohol ( you know the rubbing one ) then yeah, but the other isn't really as long as you do it in moderation. in fact it can even be beneficial to our health apart from feeling happy caused by it's kick or when we got tipsy but being tipsy can be a sign already that we have drink too much. gambling while being intoxicated is not as deadly as driving while being intoxicated but we only need to ensure that we allocated small amounts for gambling, so that even we lost it all, it won't be a big deal.
so he cannot even think about whether his money will be at risk by making a wrong decision.
the moment you step in the gambling arena, one of your feet is already at the grave.
