I drink beer and/or smoke some while gaming.

No smokes for me, though.

Sadly, it's just tough to play board games now since I really can't do any of those anymore..sigh.....

It will take time

Cookies and coffee is especially satisfying while engaged in a horrific winter campaign.

Status: offline 		Ciggs and a Stella Artois if I'm into a WW2 game. ( thet's the only European beer I got at the moment) In the morning, just coffee/tea ( depending on mood) and ciggs. I once played a flight sim ( European Air Combat 2) while indulging (heavily) into scotch one night. Take offs were fine, combat was so-so ( incredible how macho one gets with a few stiff ones and a joystick) but landings was a no-show...Approach, line up, plough into earth, fireball, aieeeee. So no more heavy booze while flying.
Cheers

I recall waking up once, tremendously hung over, and crawling over to my computer to find Rome:Total War (back when the game first came out) paused and still running from some time I can't remember the night before. Needless to say, the camera was zoomed out and still trying to pan in the back corner of the map, and zooming back to the middle found my entire Roman army massacred by an errant indepent Gallic village. All I could think was "what the hell did I do??".

Losing anything but the most heavily outnumbered battle in vanilla RTW is similar to losing a boxing match against a 6 year old girl. Never again have I decided to play a saved campaign in any strategy game while doing any "serious" drinking since that incident.

In summer sometimes a beer in the evening. Wine only while having a good diner.

As a result, I have more money to spend on PC games and the computers to run them on.
