Doesn't it depend who is doing the drinking?

 The more alcohol you drink, the more confident you feel, the stronger your attacks are. It actually scares your opponents to see you playing with more confidence.

When not playing online but in real life, drinking provides you with an other benefit. 

Your opponent will smell the alcohol and think he has an easy win because you are drunk. So he underestimates you. And when one underestimates his opponent, he loses.

Also, it improves your reflexes, evereybody knows that. So drinking before bulletgames is great tactics.

 

Btw, you tried whiskey with dark chocolate? Amazing combo!

Drinking ( alcohol ) improves your reflexes... You'r an idiot. Why do civilised nation's have drink driving laws.? The reason opponents think you are easy to beat is because your a mutton head.

Dominicans are consecrated with coffee. Not for nothing are they known as Black Friars.

haha i once visited the Black Friar monastery in Devon hoping to get a taste of their fabled tonic wine, alas the place was closed and I had to make do with licking the gift shop window.

my opinion is I like a nice cup of lemonade or maybe a lemon sometimes I just have tea and a hoagie sandwich with a nice glass of tea that helps and it keeps me from getting nervous

Weed and/Or kratom

weed is useless for playing chess, you get killed by your own creativity.

I SPILL my coke on the board. It's drugged, and I hope my opponent will lick his/her hands...

@robbie it probably depends on the person and their brain chemistry. It makes me more slow and patient. It’s bad for my blitz and bullet but increases my performance in slow chess and tactics puzzles. When I’m sober I don’t have as much patience or motivation to calculate everything, and I certainly won’t double check things. When I’m “unsober” I have the patience to look at almost every legal reply. Said substance is proven to increase your performance in creative arts
