I dont get it. I guess I'm older than most gamers, but "boozing" or any altered mental state while gaming just seems...well...silly. In fact, I just dont think any kind of altered state is a "good time". It hurts your mind, hurts your body and in general, makes most everyone feel crappy. I assure you, a young or old alcoholic/drug addict is not attractive to anyone. Pathetic in fact.
Grab some veggies and ranch dressing, a cup of tea or coffee and tell everyone to piss off for a few hours while you play Skyrim. Especially those pesky wives/GF's who want you to pay attention to them all the time (what the hell is with that anyway).
Now thats a good time.
I'm with you all the way on the tea. I need to get more tea. I keep finding mom's herbal tea, which I'm not keen on.
I should probably point out that being very "altered" or drunk has nothing to do with me drinking while gaming. I don't drink to get drunk because that would end up with me feeling awful afterwards and not being able to concentrate on the game in the mean time. I do fink drinking to be relaxing, though. I'm having a beer now and listening to some Daggerfall music. The anticipation stays; the urge to pace the house like a caged animal is receding.
