Oh my goodness...I'm a living testament to that. As a matter of fact, avoid all chemical abuse whilst playing.
Fritz tried to organize an intervention once, but he couldn't get everyone in the right place at the right time to pin me down (my drinking buddies and wife got in the way, I'll post the board diagram some time).

Try to control space, meaning having your pieces and pawns occupy more of the space on the board than your opponent, this is called: having a quality advantage when playing a game, but even if you do not have a master's skill to exploit such an advantage, it is still better to have it as it is like having an additional tool in your arsenal.
With each move you make, try & attack more squares deeper into your opponent's side of the board to restrict/prevent his/her development. If your pawns & pieces are well defended, you will have more room on your side of the board giving you more control of the tempo in the game.
It's also good to force exhanges when it will be to your advantage in controlling more space on the board as well.

Tactics....need I say more?
If you're under 2000 stop studying those opening books and stick to tactics and basic critical endgame positions, I see so many 1400-1800 players spending hours and hours studying openings when really most games at that level are all about tactics. Its really not going to matter if you know the sicialian 15 moves deep in every variation, you're always going to go out of book eventually and that's where the real chess starts.
