Do you get better or worse at videogames after drinking?
For me, it's worse at FPS, better at RTS.
>>318307439
worse at games
better at shit talking
First glass actually boosts me slightly, but then any more past that progressively makes me worse.
>>318307439
Progressively worse but my tolerance is high so it takes a bit.
>>318307439
>drinking cholesterin
>>318307439
I'm the opposite. Better with fps worse with rts
I've been drinking 1-2 times a week, is that too much?
Worse but I think I'm doing better.
>>318307439
Worse. However, it makes playing my Alcoholic character on NV even better as I make bad decisions in there.
I wouldn't know, I have a hard time finding a balance and I'm either not drunk at all or super fucking drunk. Which is useful I guess because I can have a few drinks socially and be totally fine
Better at fighting games because i take more risks.
A drink or two makes me play shooters and stuff a bit better. I think its just because im naturally anxious and it takes the edge off.
Smoking weed or anything like that makes me unable to play.
Up until around 20, I got a lot better up until a certain level of pass-out drunk.
But now, more than a small shitty beer is enough to make me shit at most games, particularly anything requiring fast inputs and reactions (GG or melee).
I stop thinking about what I'm doing, which actually makes me better a lot of the time
>>318307885
something like this but it's usually beer number 3 that signals my slow decline.
I do great at rocket league after a drink
>>318307439
1-2 drinks: get worse, have more fun.
3+ drinks: get much worse, have less fun.
I find that I feel more drunk when I'm playing games than I do after an equivalent amount in a pub
I guess it's the coordination of keyboards and stuff
>>318307439
Worse at everything, I hold my alcohol well but videogame wise I lose all my shit completely.
>>318311057
Same, but I also find losing less bad.
getting progressively shitfaced while playing Witcher series and Max Payne 3 was tits
Better at racing games weirdly enough.
>>318307439
In the early stages of drinking when im just buzzed I actually improve because it removes my self doubt and apprehension I often have but after say 5-6 beers when I'm getting tipsy my reaction time and skill starts to degrade till im drunk and dieing left and right to the stupidest shit.
>>318307439
Worse in every case, but gaming becomes more enjoyable.
>>318308582
some weeks I drink everyday
>>318307439
also lol on being better at rts'. it's almost always the opposite.
DUDE ALCOHOL LMAO
>>318307439
A couple of drinks gets rid of my tilt that causes me so much grief in pvp games.
If I get too drunk, well that obviously doesn't help.
It's a fine balance.
>>318311196
That would've been immersive as fuck for those games I am impressed, anon.
>>318309001
This.
>>318311708
MP3 made me just feel for max and his lines were that much more impactful and witty.
Witcher trilogy was... different in a good fucking way. I would do a boss battle and violently yell at the screen cheering for Geralt. I loved it. Also every time I met a new female NPC it would be like "ohhh shit I bet im gonna see her tits".
Honestly I'm not much of a drinker, not too fond of booze in general. I just don't enjoy it like most people, although I'll still drink with friends just for the sake of it. Which sucks if you asks me because according to everyone I've drank with my tolerance for alcohol is through the roof. I can't even count how many New Year's benders I've survived with my mind intact.
>>318309001
Alcohol is considered a doping in professional shooting because it helps aiming smoother. So no wonder it helps in shooter games.
>>318308582
>I've been drinking 1-2 times a week, is that too much?
You should drink everyday, it is healthy.
I'm usually get slightly better anywhere between 1-4 drinks, depending on how much I've eaten and when that was. After that the drunkenness just hits me and I play like absolute ass.
>>318308582
Drink for breakfast comrade. All of the days. Drink till blood kill aids virus, good for bones. Make strong for motherland
DUDE BEER LMAO
>>318307439
With one beer I think I'm better at fps. Not so tense and twitchy.

What's a good drink for playing vidya at home?
>>318314078
Beer
>>318312738
Do you not like beer?
>>318314078
Beer.
>>318307439
I get better at games for some fucking reason. That is how I beat The Last Battle. God that was a shit game.
>>318316049
Are you sure?
I get so much worse I'm not sure how anybody could improve
After a few beers I play better for some reason. Its like I kind of just do the tasks automatically without thinking, whereas sober it would be a big, anxious struggle.
After a glass of scotch I do absolutely everything better.
>>318314078
rum and dr pepper
>Scotch
Do you tip your fedora afterwards?
>>318308582
>drinking only 1-2 times a week
I take it you arent from a drinking culture?
>>318316983
I'm from a drinking culutre, I only drink on weekends and iun pubs muost of the time
I class sunday as a weekend, that's ok, righrt?
>>318316443
I am sure, I tried while I was wide awake and sober and I could not beat said game. I have a weird fucking body.
I usually make better decisions in clutch situations if i'm slightly drunk. Obviously my hands are not as good as when i'm sober, but sometimes staying relaxed and being more decisive helps. Same with weed.
I get better at games that need precise direct inputs & real time strategic movement
Like fighters & bomber-man
I get worse at games that need hand eye for targeting & too much moving (like high action or racing games)
Like COD , dark souls or ridge racer
I feel like I'm doing well when I've had a drink even though I'm not
This alone makes it worth it
>>318317187
Aye that's fine. Wasnt trying to give a jab at you. Honestly I wish I only drank then, but I like my booze a bit too much.
>>318316983
Yeah jesus christ, where I'm from drinking 1-2 times a week is like what elderly people do. Almost all of the adults I know drink 4-5 nights a week.
>>318307439
Alcohol - worse
Cannabis - better, but sometimes I derp out and do something incredibly stupid
>>318307439
Depends on how drunk I am. Dont really notice a difference until I'm legit drunk. Then I'm laughing and shittalking too much to care.
>>318317909
You drink your cannabis?
I only like fruity girl drinks.
Anons, should I drink whiskey on this already dark sunday afternoon?
I feel like drinking on a sunday is a little frowned upon, but I don't have shit to do and I'm not planning on getting hammered.
>>318319147
Literally nobody cares whether you drink or not. Drinking on a Sunday isn't frowned upon more than any other day, unless you are trying to get lit and then it's work-night type frowned upon.
>>318319147
Why the fuck not
Feed that alcoholism
>>318318305
Try some entry level beers like guinness
>>318307439
Better at FPS because my hand twitch completely disappears, also better at games that take communication because I'm more willing to yell at people to play the objective.
Worse at turn based games for the most part, I always overlook something.
>>318307439
Depends on the genre, really. I prefer to have a beer or two for anything competitive to get me to loosen up but I've also been trying to give up habitual drinking so I'm kinda at a cross there.
>>318318305
Drink hard alcohol with fruity drinks as well anon. One of my guilty pleasure drinks is pomegranate vodka with sprite or squirt.
>>318319648
>guinness
I don't like flat beer.
>>318319971
>He doesn't like ale
Get a load of this faggot
>>318319648
Stouts (Guiness is good) and Hefeweizens (Blue Moon is fine) are good for getting into beer, yeah. Hard ciders (Fox Barrel is my favorite) are there for people with sweet tooths.
i dont drink my dad was an alcoholic.
>become an adult
>literally every social activity with other adults revolves around booze
great job normalfags
>>318320128
Personally, I got into drinking from Ciders, then Guinness when I was in Ireland. It took me years to get into beer, but when the switch was flicked I really learned to appreciate it.
Anyway, yeah, try stuff that's more malty and sweet and less hoppy (ie. avoid IPAs like the plague). Hops are an acquired taste.
>>318320220
I don't see what's so wrong with that.
You don't have to get trashed all the time, just go get a good buzz and loosen up.
>>318320305
This. It's called a social lubricant for a reason.
I get stressed as fuck playing multiplayer games but when I've had a few it feels good even when I lose
I don't drink that much anyway
>>318320220

No one's gonna give you shit for not drinking.
Depends on the game.
On Killing Floor, I got most of my Hell on Earth achievements totally shitfaced, with top kills. I do worse when sober.
>>318320545
yeah, that's what i do. huge money saver plus I feel better the next day.

>>318320220
You dont need to get wasted everytime you're out with friends, just 2-3 beers is pretty chilled.
Naturally and logically I get worse. Play CS on Global Elite, and when doing so drunk I can't do shit. Reflexes and awareness become pure ass.

>>318307439
There's like an hour where i might be better and then i can't play anything well for 48 hours.
I don't understand how people can become alcoholics. It's such a waste of time and money.
>>318308582
Drinking 2 nights a week is pretty standard.
3-4 nights a week is unhealthy but just about socially acceptable, (normal in college)
5+ is alcoholism
>>318308582
Ausfag here. I drink everyday. I might only have 1 or 2 beers but I have a drink everyday,

See according to mainstream Americans you would have a drinking problem but here in Aus it's completely normal and acceptable
>>318307439
of course you'll be worse
with weed it's variable. sometimes you're worse, sometimes you become amazing
man I remember one time I tried to do Dark Souls 1 PVP while drunk. I was so fucking horrible at it.

>>318322060
I agree. There's such a huge variety of types of beer, but 90% of the American market is shitty IPAs. Then they have the audacity to claim that American beer is the best in the world.
>>318322143
No, that he should drink some real beers. Proper ales, Weissbiers, that sort of thing.

>>318322378
By "normal beer" you mean lager. If you're drinking lager there's so much better stuff on the market than Budweiser. For me, I love Southern European lagers. but there's a lot of variety. Drinking Budweiser is limiting your own experience.
>>318322378
Bud Light and Coors Light all the way. Cheap, has a neutral taste, and gets the job done. People who drink 1-2 $5 IPAs for the "taste" and not to get drunk are huge faggots.
>>318322256
>but 90% of the American market is shitty IPAs
No, it isn't.
>>318322796
Well, 90% of the export market is.
If you come from a country that doesn't drink in pints you might as well end yourself tbqh
>Aussies drink in "schooners"
Top cuk
>>318322549
Just don't get drunk, you can always drink later.
I don't see why ipa is so popular now. Maybe I haven't had an actual good ipa. The only one I have had is from a local brewing company. Recommend me a good ipa anon. I am a fan of malty beers so it may just be a preference thing
>>318322741
Agreed. Not to mention I just want to grab my beer and fucking pay for it.
I will get between people looking at all the craft beer to just grab normal beer and get the fuck out of the store.
I don't care about taste, I just want something refreshing to drink while I get drunk. I don't need to have my palate experience a five course meal every time I drink.
>>318322993
It'll just be a preference thing. I'm the same. I've tried and I've tried, but I just can't get a taste for hoppy stuff.
>>318312165
>I'll still drink with friends just for the sake of it. Which sucks if you asks me because according to everyone I've drank with my tolerance for alcohol is through the roof.
Yeah, that's me. After having 4 shots back to back last month and not feeling the slightest bit different, I decided I should just stop drinking so I don't keep wasting alcohol.
>>318323219
If you take a break you'll lose your tolerance. Trust me.
That said, every time I've gone drinking with someone from the US or Canada they've been lightweight as fuck, so maybe not.
>>318323332
I'm a 120 pound skeleton and my tolerance has always been this high. Not much I can do about it.
>>318322993
>>318323109
There's variance in IPAs even. Different hops gives different tastes and different IPAs will have different amounts of bitterness and different amounts of maltiness.
For instance, I like IPAs, but I don't like the extreme citrus some of them go for with loads of certain hops, so I avoid those.
>>318323332
Can confirm I'm from the states and all the people I drink with have to stop after their third beer bc they get wasted. I'm from the south so if I go to a party it's nothing but bud light and fireball whiskey which is the most disgusting shit I've ever had.
>>318323507
My tolerance was high too, then I spent three months on a ship where you can't drink. The tolerance disappears entirely.
>>318308582

>>318324397
Some people just don't like beer. Mostly women, but whatever, find something you like to drink.
>>318324397
No. If you've genuinely tried everything you might just not like it.
Switch to ciders and things.
>>318324475
Actually it's probably something like a bitter or a brown ale. You do get fruit beers, but they're not especially common.
>>318324397
Not your fault you were born a girl, lmao.
Skip beer and go to wine/scotch/brandy/port/rum/vodka and so on.

>>318324465
Wheat beer like Blue Moon.
Bacardi for rum, preferably Gold or Oakheart. Mix it with soda 1:1, lessen the soda as you get used to it.
All I know is beer and rum.
>>318324675
Enjoy being a miserable cunt that survives a couple of years longer, I suppose.
>>318322143
I'm pretty sure that's the reason why hoppy beers are so popular. People get used to Bud or Miller and the moment they have something better they notice the "hops" and associate that flavor with quality beer.
>>318324397
Beer can be an acquired taste. I know guys that hated it until they forced themselves to drink it. I just like stuff with hard liquor personally.
>>318324427

>remember there's irish cream in the liquor cabinet
I ended up drinking it black, which is nice every once in a while, but sometimes I think the world wants me to be an alcoholic
My biggest gripe with the American craft beer "scene" is that they don't make enough god damn Porters. Porter is a style that can have an incredible amount of variety, but either gets ignored or only gets extra flavors like smoked or coffee or something.
>>318307439
its a perception curve, after drinking a little my senses get a little sharper which helps everything, i get noticeably better at FPS
its a delicate balance, after drinking just enough i get real thirsty and always end up blowing it and playing real shit
>>318325275
They don't do good stouts either though, only Imperial stouts.
I'm just bitter because I like milk stouts
>>318325252
Having a tablespoon of irish cream in your coffee one morning because you are out of cream doesn't make you an alcoholic.
>>318325252
to be fair, baileys and coffee is GOAT
>>318325394
Drinking before midday is the ultimate sign of alcoholism
>>318325394
Yeah, I don't know why I hesitated. It has a pretty low alcohol content and would only take up a fraction of my coffee. I'm a dunce.
>>318325381
I've seen a couple milk stouts, but you're right, they generally stick to the heavy, dry "American Stout" or go for Imperial.
It's one of those extra flavor ones, but Abita actually makes a fantastic Machiato Espresso Milk Stout that I love. Don't see it very often and I don't know how far their distribution goes though.
>>318325654
>americans
>>318325654
I'd argue staring at the clock waiting for it to hit 12 so you can start drinking is also a sign of alcoholism.
>>318325654
Depends on why, how much, and how often.
>Shit I'm out of cream. I'll use a tiny bit of this irish cream.
Not alcoholism
>I need a couple pulls off this whiskey bottle to face the day
Alcoholism
>people need to drink alcohol to get better at video games
Whenever I drink alone and play video games, I end up drinking until I pass out. I will literally stay up until 7am drinking or something, then sleep until 2-3pm and feel like absolute shit for the rest of the day and accomplish nothing. It's not healthy.

I drink beer all the time and one time I tried this stuff because I wanted to try something fancy. When I pored that shit out there was fucking fizz everywhere and shit and I had to wait like 10 minutes for it to die down it was madness. When it was finally drinkable I almost gagged when I tried it because it actually tasted like the aftertaste left in your mouth when you puke.

Same here
Really bad history dealing with drunks
>>318308582
I've been drinking since Wednesday when my vacation started. I only drink beer
I always drink Friday,Saturday, Sunday
So no, you're good
>>318327706
>german beer
theres ur problem
>>318327227
It's not really that big a deal. I didn't drink until I was 23, thinking I was avoiding some horrible vice that my peers had succumbed to.
It turns out it's just a drink that makes you light headed and personable.
Don't overdo it and alcohol is not frightening.
>>318307439
Better up until about 6 drinks then its pretty much down hill from there both due to a decrease in mechanics and solid judgement.
>>318327765
>purity
Meaningless.
I once broke all of my records on Risk of Rain after getting pretty blitzed. I have not been able to repeat these results, though. After smoking a bowl or two, I can always seem to almost, almost beat all my records, but miss a few by thin margins. Always.
That's actually the only game I've played while drunk, though, with the described instance being the only one. Idk, I just usually don't feel like it.
>>318327227
Its not for everyone
>>318327706
first, pour the beer while holding the cup at a 45 degree angle you philistine, second, drink an ale
>>318307439
>the fucking assholes who are shit on your team
>"LOL IM SO DRUNK HAHA"
>"Woah man, chill, its just a fucking game XD"
>>318327227
Doesn't matter you don't have anyone to drink it with anyway
>>318328215
Tryhard spotted. Get a life dude. xD
>>318327857
That's alright anon, nobody's forcing you into doing it. But remember you're responsible for your own action, if somebody behaved badly when they drank they have some issues that need to be dealt.
My great grandfather was a magnificent drunk. He'd go to the bar every day after work because he felt his life was miserable. His wife would go after his sorry ass and drag him to their house, put him into bed and change his stained shirt. Now you could imagine my family having a bunch of drunkards but in reality their only vice is smoking.
I don't drink to the point of acting like an ass, I drink because I like how beer tastes. It's like chocolate: one does not eat 3 kilos of chocolate daily, you eat it sparingly and in small quantities.

On most games I'll do fine.
But I will get wrecked on fighting games, I guess I need the edge on those.
I'm a few months away from 21, but I can already tell I'm gonna be drinking a lot after. Either just getting myself a case of beer or a large handle every now and then and get hammered alone in my room. I kinda like it, its fun so long as I remember to drink a glass of water before bed if I'm going crazy. I feel like drinking alone in my room and watching anime and playing videogames makes me a fucking loser, but hey, I enjoy it.
>tfw you visit your Dad for break
>He always buys a 30 rack and lets me drink
>Spent the last 5 days pounding beer in my room on my toaster laptop
This was a great break
I play TF2 competitively while trashed and always manage to break top 5.
>I main Sniper / Medic
Depends on the game and what I'm drinking. Usually there's a point where all positive effects stop and I start losing. Played Xrd Saturday and the first few drinks were enough to make me unpredictable but afterward it was just friendly shit talk.
>>318327706
Learn to pour. Also, ask for recommendations and chat up any liquor store clerks. Most of them should know their stock well and can lead you to good stuff. Try to look for an older employee since they'll have more experience.
Also, try pic related. It's delicious.
>>318310530
Yup, beer 3 is when I start going downhill.
After beer 6 i'm pretty shit.
I never play vidya when I'm drunk cause whenever I'm drinking I'm at a buddies house with a bunch of people. I like to play old N64 games when I'm baked and I tend to be pretty good at them.
>tfw puked for the first time last night, still feel bad about it.
>>318322549
Alcohol is out of your system 8 hours after you metabolize your last drink.
Personally, I wouldn't have more than 1-2 tonight.
My recipe for FPS:
About 2-3 beers
Medium amount of hash
Medium-mediumhigh amount of caffeine from whatever source
Makes shooters very fun, and I also get better results than usual
>>318324035
Haven't taken that required Logic course yet, I see
>>318328984
it really really really is.
>>318328934
>I feel like drinking alone in my room and watching anime and playing videogames makes me a fucking loser, but hey, I enjoy it.
This pretty much sums up my life. Do school work and hang out with friends, sure. But for some reason I really like beer, anime, music, and video games. And being left alone.
>>318325654
I used to do this.
I still drink, but now I drink much less, and worry about drinking hardly ever. That's probably the biggest relief I got from cutting back.
>>318327706
Tilt the glass before pouring the beer in
>>318323681
I wonder if it's something you have to break down first.
Used to go months, sometimes years without drinking, and then go out on a binge with some buddies on special occasions. They'd drink themselves blackout drunk every time just for the chance to finally see me wasted, only I'd be standing there at the end of night/morning having had everything they had+bit more, feeling mildly buzz at worse, trying to keep eye out on their asses.
Once I picked it up more regularly, became more easier for me to get "drunker," though still not as much as friends/family.Then again, alcoholism runs in my family desu senpai.
>>318330146
I never drank before midday, but I also used to be perfectly content with 3-4 beers in one night. I fucking hate hangovers.
Now it takes me closer to 6 to feel the same buzz. Tolerance is not my friend and I've been telling myself I need to cut back for a while nowpretty clear indicator of a problem right there
>>318328946
>I can play a joke game and do well while wasted.
Good for you
>>318330385
Yeah man, just go a few days to a week without drinking, you'll be straight. You won't miss it after about day 3. I take a few weeks off from time to time. Kinda resets the alcoholism doom track, yknow?
>>318330764
With Finals coming up it would be a really good time to cut back, too.
>Got sent to the hospital by EMS back in October for alcohol poisoning
>All they did was stick me in a room and have me wait (I was conscious the whole time, the whole scenario was bullshit)
>$800 hospital bill
>I bought a 2 liter handle of Kraken two weeks later and drank it all alone in my room for the next month
I didn't learn my lesson. I'm pissed about the hospital thing, but what can you do.
>get drunk and play XCOM long war
>see my squad the next day
>dear Christ what have I done......
>>318330925
When I was more dependent on it, I substituted iced tea, water, club soda, almond milk, etc. That helped too. I still enjoy having something in a glass and drinking it, but I've been like that since a kid.
>>318330936
Where were you? Assuming you didn't call the EMS yourself, you shouldn't be in a hospital unless you absolutely have to get your stomach pumped. Paying $800 to sit around and sober up is bullshit.
>>318330936
>paying for health care
>mfw when drunk tanking as WAR in FFXIV
>>318330764
>drinking heavily past three months
I need to do this. A fifth of vodka in a night or two is not healthy.
>>318307720
Nothing was better than queueing as a tank in DPS gear with my healer buddy for heroics in wow. I would be drunk as shit but so overgeared for the content it wouldn't matter, and would just talk the most shit to everyone else in the party.
>>318331652
paying for taxes that pay for your healthcare is still paying for healthcare
it just also goes to people that don't pay into it
stay c.ucked
>>318331652
>paying for everyone else's healthcare
>>318331434
My University has a Good Samaritan clause where you can call EMS on someone if their worried about you. I guess I smoked like half a pack of cigarettes in the span of half an hour and the security guard thought I was in trouble or something, so he called them. I jumped in bed and was napping the whole ride to the hospital, so I couldn't really tell them I was fine. Woke up surrounded by nurses and had to sit there for the next 8 hours. It was bullshit. Worst part is all my friends probably think I'm a weenie even though I've been drinking them under the table for the last three years. Haven't really hung out with them since cause I'm kinda embarrassed, though I explained it to them and they agree it was bullshit.
>>318307439
Better at LoL. Not because my skill improves, but because I don't even need to mute my team to ignore their bitching and doing my part.
I'm also better at turn-based games after getting wasted.
My platforming skills are non-existing after few drinks. Once I was driving while hammered on a parking lot, to see how it truly is to drive under the influence. No real difference. Then I've played a bit of different platformers. Holy shit, was so slow even TR'13 was suddenly hard.
>>318316802
I see you have shit taste.
Congrats
Better at fighting games since I follow my instinct and go faster.
Worse at decision making games because I don't plan ahead.
Forsen fakes it
>Take a couple shots of rum by myself because I'm a lonely fuck
>Perfect stuff on OSU that I normally can't even finish
Some drunken masters shit going on
