Casually drinking and gaming
- Thread starter Dixie Flatline
- Start date
Lol I am about to turn on Red Dead Online with whiskey. Johnnie Walker black label mixed with coke for once. I usually drink it pure. I usually drink a couple of beers though when casual gaming.
I get all fuzzy inside... (I am not an alcoholic i swear 🙇🏽‍♂️)

These but straight, whilst playing the Yakuza games (Ableforth's Rumbullion ideally).
Voted other since I tend to switch between whiskey, rum, or vodka depending on funds and what I'm feeling at the time. Then it's either onto raiding in XIV or playing a multiplayer game like Battlefield, CoD, or Apex lol
Whiskey, wine or beer all go well. I limit myself to 2 max on weekends now though since I usually have to wait until after 10 when the fam is asleep...right now my mother in law is with us for a few months so gaming and drinking late night in my underwear on week days isn't a good look ;)
Whiskey and adventure games, FMV games or visual novels work really well together. Right now I'm playing Steins;Gate Elite and a few nights a week I'll have one or two glasses of whiskey with it when I feel like it. Though tea works well too. ;)
Rum or Amarula liquor or honey(-cherry) mead. I like it sweet and sometimes sweet and strong. Goes great with any kind of game.
Pot is not legal in many places.
Casual drinking is fine. Focus is not the goal. Taking the edge off is. Immersion really?
Who needs POT for focus or immersion?? I'd say that is not healthy lol.
I like it straight too and also to Yakuza lol. Did you get the Yakuza 6 tumbler glasses?
NO LAW.
I'll usually have a cider, I don't like drinking too much during the week and I'm trying to cut my alcohol consumption way down to lose a few pounds.
Pot helps put aside stressors in life that might keep you from enjoying things, hence immersion and focus. See: *checks notes* "Taking the edge off".
Whisky, whiskey, scotch & bourbon. Occasional craft beers. Red wine if left from cheese nights.
I seem to ingest whisky every evening I play. Max 2cl in a glass that I sip.
Actually wrote a... err... blog? on a gaming site. About how well a new game and new beer went together with scoring and all.
Then moved to writing a blog on my own site about whiskies and cigars.
Yeah.

A beer or cocktail and Stardew Valley are a great way to relax
Or Stardew Valley with an edible
Or Stardew Valley and anything really

If I could I would totally chill and play games with some Uncle Nearest Whiskey.. but my wife gets what she calls "The Irish Sadness" so we pretty much only have beer available rn lol.
I will absolutely demolish a bottle of white wine or maybe half a bottle of vodka/whiskey if I'm playing Overwatch with my friends on any given evening. Sometimes I get better as the night goes on, sometimes I get worse. Either way, still a fun time.
I rarely drink when I play games. Maybe when I'm playing a slow JRPG (recently finished off an old open bottle of Kikori I had lying around while playing Chrono Cross) but booze usually makes me too slow and unfocused to pay attention and appreciate the time.
I fuck with Scotch while playing noncompetitive games. Whiskey and whisky are my drinks of choice.
or if you want to do prescription medication my suggestions are benzos and musou games or opiates and mobas
Beer and whatever game I'm into at the time. No Man's Sky is currently that game. Flying spaceships while drinking is always fun.
Just about to crack one open and load up now in fact.

When I still played multiplayer online I would down a case of beer on a Friday night playing with pals. It was a lot of fun, although by the end of the night I was usually drunk as shit and would blow everyone up by accident once or twice. Oops!
The beer wasn't anything fancy, just Yuengling. I do not drink when I play single player games.

No, I'm not really into buying special editions of games but that definitely was the closest I came to getting one! Did you?
Beer most of the time and mostly craft IPAs and sours. Occasionally some red wine.
I've been working on cutting back though as I'd fallen into to having 3-4 beers most week nights and 4-6 on weekends and that's just too much in general and was leading to a beer gut and love handles now that I'm older and my metabolism is finally slowing some.
