I tried drinking beer when I play and my rating tanked a little, so I switched to gin and it tanked a lot

Lol. I have a beer when I play late in the evening. I can't tell if I play better or worse but I feel pretty relaxed doing it. I care more about that than I do rating

Spent some time in Australia a couple years ago. Loved the beer. Made a few trips over to visit my old pal Dan Murphy

When my wife says I can only have one beer, I buy a Fosters (Australian beer? anyways they bill it that way here in the U.S.), it is large, reminds me of how the oil cans looked back in the 70s.

yeah, drunkenmaster chess, if you lose a piece do a shot, then you end up losing lots of pieces and getting really tanked!
