majorleag 0 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I am curious as to what others drink while playing.I never drink alcohol while playing, but encourage the rest of you to do so. I either drink Pepsi, or water and recently have found Red Bull to be a great drink to keep up the energy and alertness.I wouln't pay $2.50 per can or whatever they charge but the Taj serves it for free, and for free it is a great way to go.So what do the rest of you drink, particularly if you are going to be playing for a long session?

dna4ever 2 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Since I only make it to a casino once a year or so I usually dont go to make money, but just to have fun so I absolutely drink it up and have an awesome time. Heineken is my drink of choice at the table. If I went to the casino on a regular basis trying to make money then I wouldnt drink. Link to post Share on other sites

majorleag 0 Posted October 3, 2005 Author Share Posted October 3, 2005 C2, coffee, caffeinated water...Caffeinated water, interesting. I assume it tastes like regular water, you just get the caffeine boost?I found Red Bull to be probably the best for alertness after long hours that I have found. Better than Pepsi, although probably not so good for you, when consuming several cans.But it can't be too good for you to plant your ass for hours at a time on an uncomfortable chair either.

Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 If I'm feeling particularly randy, I'll have vodka and 7, keep em coming. The only times I don't drink is when I don't feel like shelling out the cash or on one of my personal non drink phases.My three live $200 mtt I haven't drank b/c it was 11am. I drink if I feel like getting bombed. I like the way I play with a buzz on. Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn't taste *too* bad, I can't stand the taste of Red Bull, or that new Pepsi One for that matter. Link to post Share on other sites

alf13 0 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 BEER.But I set a limit.....I morph into a cheap Gus Hansen imitation with a ton of beers in me.....I try to limit myself to ONE BEER per hour....and that's pushing it....I also don't like to play long sessions as I set a 4 hour rule on myself.I can play my A game for 4 hours straight...it then turns into my B game....and then C......and then D...for Donkey.In a MTT though...I have maintained focus for the whole thing....mainly because of the prize at the end keeping me focused.

I'm serious, not joking.Also I hate diet drinks too, but I found C2 to taste good, none of that nutrasweet-tasting crap. Link to post Share on other sites
