Don’t Drink … Play!

[ English ]

If you enjoy having a a cocktail occasionally, keep your cash out of the casino if you plan to do your drinking in a casino. I am serious. Leave your purse, your wallet, and keep all cash, credit cards and checkbooks out of the casino. Only take only the cash you intend to spend on refreshments, tipping and whatever pocket change you intend to lose and leave the rest behind.

Cynical? Not really. Realistic more like. You may well have a success following a boozy evening out with your friends and be lucky enough to hook a marathon toss at a smokin craps table. Hang on to that adventure because it is as brief as it gets if you regularly drink and gamble. The two simply do not go well together.

Leaving your moola out of the casino might be a tiny bit excessive, but precautionary actions for excessive behavior is a requirement. If you play to win, then don’t drink and play. If you are able to afford to burn your cash without a concern, then consume all the gratuitous booze your stomach are able to handle, but don’t take credit cards and checkbooks to throw into the mix of following losses after your dead drunk head loses everything!

Permit me to take this 1 step further. Don’t drink alcohol and then hop online to gamble in your favorite casino either. I enjoy a cocktail from the comfort of my condominium, but since I’m linked up through Neteller, Firepay and keep charge cards at my fingertips, I can not drink alcohol and wager.

Why? Despite the fact that I don’t drink alcohol to excess, once I consume alcohol, it’s clearly enough to blur my better judgment. I gamble, so I don’t drink alcohol when wagering. If you are more of a drinker, do not bet at the same time. Both create a decimating, and expensive, drink.
