Drinking and gaming?

[fusangite]

My regular Thursday night group is an ethanol-powered gaming dynamic.

My Sunday night group is a different social contract and involves less drinking.

It really depends on the social contract you have established for your group. I like everything from dry games to drunk games, provided everyone is on board.

Aaron, I'm not sure how you discovered that beer tastes like urine! Wrong bottle at a party?

Personally I don't like the taste of beer either and I only drink spirits very occasionally (I'd rather spend my disposable income on things like gaming stuff).

I answered never but I do remember an occasion a couple of years ago when a few people in the group had some beers during the session. Not anywhere near enough to get drunk or affect their gameplay. More just a drink to relax with.

(it should go without saying that we don't get drunk... you cannot D&D drunk.)

My group proves you wrong pretty much once a week.

Its rare, but occasionally we have a beer around the table. Most of those I game with don't really drink much, but I don't have a problem with the consumption of alcohol around the table, and those I game with don't have a problem with it.

Gaming, much like walking my dog, watching television, or talking to my wife, is an activity I could not comprehend undertaking sober.

We refer to the last game when people drank as "the night the party got absolutely slaughtered." Generally speaking, we no longer drink during games.

Nope, underage and in high school
do sugar highs from soda count?

Most of our games, we'll have a BBQ for lunch and most in the group have a beer or two with that. When we get back to the game though, Coke,tea and water seem to be the preferred refreshments. Occasionally one or two of the guys will slip a bourbon into their coke but this is normally to go with pizza.

We generally drink a couple of beers* with dinner before or after the game. We only drink strong liquor with a large crowd of long-distance friends gather.

*this of course is Utah, so all beer not sold in liquor-stores is 3.2% alcohol.

I find in general, the GM is happier with a scotch on the rocks.

Almost sig worthy. I like my scotch with on the rocks with a splash of water.

As for the OP, try schnapps, it's sweet and fruity with a strong kick that's not as girly.
