Favourite Alcohol to Drink While Gaming.

[The Carrion]

I know there's a few 'favourite alcohol' threads hovering around, but none directed at what people like to get wasted with while gaming. I would've made this a poll thread, but the simple fact is there's too many mixes/types of alcohol and no way I could include everybody's favourite.

So... tell me:

What's your favourite alcoholic beverage to drink whilst gaming?

What games do you play once drunk?

Do you feel that you improve at said games while under the influence?

I know a lot of people who think they're better at a lot of things while drunk, but they're simply not. They tend to get worse... much worse. However thanks to achoholic energy drinks getting drunk and staying awake for a week long LAN have both become viable options.

Personally, I like a glass of whisky and Coke on the computer desk, or the computer, while gaming. I know it makes me slow to react to an incoming Redeemer in Unreal Tournament 3, but it makes the endless grind of WoW go that little bit faster.

Rum & Cola xD

But I only did it a few times. I don't find it nearly as enjoying as it is consumed separately

 

[Flying-Emu]

Orange juice, of course.

 

[megapenguinx]

I usually end up playing Halo 3 or Rock Band

 

[Smokeydubbs]

Beer or something (Crown Royal/Rum/Whiskey) with Coca-cola. I just play the regular games. And usually suck horribly at them later on in the night.

 

[CIA]

The rubbing variety.

 

[Fruitloops89]

Whiskey Sour on very rare occasions, and it improves my Double Dash skills

 

[SoonerMatt]

Beer. Specifically, Shiner, Fat Tire, a pale ale, or an IPA.

 

[Cuniculus]

Blue Moon beer. Tastes delicious, and although it doesn't help my performance, at least it loosens me up. The game I most love to play while drunk though is Audiosurf. Good music, fast pacing, and who could forget the flashing colors and lights?

Beer. Mostly.

Rum n Coke every now and then.

Ahh, Right before drunk, just feeling the buzzness happening I'm usually beasting on games. Any further down the drunken path it just gets worse and worse.

Once I'm drunk I end up playing Duke Nukem 3D on xbox live arcade. That or pac man.

Vodka and/or Tequila (any shot really) for playing Wario-ware... It really works out great too see your friends trying to understand the games (while drunk) in under three seconds, only to see them making the actions 2 seconds into the game. ^^

Personally, I like a glass of whisky and Coke on the computer desk, or the computer, while gaming.

Pat on the back for that: HERE HERE! A good beer while playing TF2 is a good time, but Whiskey makes me plain silly. I love getting tipsy and chatting on an all talk server. And typically, at first it relaxes me and I play better but pretty soon I get lazy and my position drips down the chart.

VODKA and whatever i have to mix it with. but i only drink while playing party games (warioware, scene it, mario party, hot shots golf, etc) if im playin by myself i usually dont drink it just makes it harder to see

 

[Cliff_m85]

Sambuca

 

[Matronadena]

with me it tends to be Hakutsuru Sake

 

[saxist01]

whatever you're serving

 

[Low Key]

Beer. More specifically, a microbrew or import since I get a discount. The perks of knowing the right people.

 

[Mookie_Magnus]

I don't drink...

However, if someone were to create an alcohol that tastes like, and is made from Mt.Dew I would be all over it.

Vodka on the rocks. I tend to play shooters better up to a point while drunk, because it seems to make me focus more, and thus concentrate on what I'm doing. After a point though, it becomes a detriment, but a fun detriment.
