Since alcohol lowers inhibitations, and the last thing I need is that KTo to be looking even better in early position, I have a strict rule with myself about drinking and poker. Easy rule... no playing poker if I've had anything to drink that day, and the first drink doesn't get poured until the last table is closed down. The only exception is the league games, where I expect to suck anyway, and am only there to have fun.
As an aside, when my dad flew he had a strict rule about "12 hours between bottle and throttle". Whenever he quoted it he'd pause, get a little twinkle in his eye, and follow it up with "That's why you'll always see pilots drinking their beer out of a can".
