Come to think of it, on some occasions I've too gotten more than a few down while doing an all-night playsession, and I don't think I've ever done the same in front of the telly :) That's a very good point Magnu!

When I think about it, I certainly wouldnt have more than a couple if I was just watching TV or something, but if I'm on an mmo with people to chat to, i'll drink as if i'm in the pub. I guess that proves the point that the interaction gained from gaming with others is real, and that you arent 'alone' in any case. Who's round is it then? :) Hard for me to comment really as I rarely have an evening without a beer. :P

Ofcourse I stand as the scientific proof, that there is absolutely nothing to the theory! *burp* *falls over* Hotpocket, I pretty much agree that drinkin' by yourself doesnt equal having a drinking-problem, but my friends comment kind of implied it and I wouldnt be surprised if other people thought so too…in fact I've met some who did.

I then log off later and jump into EQ2 for the neXus night. :) Now that neXus nights are changing to a week night so more of us can make it, I can make some Hussars squad nights when RL allows. I look forward to sitting in the bomber seat while you fly the plane, projectile vomiting all over you as the plane spins around. ;) Yeah I've done one squad night, I usually make the squad early evening session though as the night starts early if people are on.

In this state it is generally not a good idea to log into your favourite MMO. Some of the dangers are the accidental sales of very prized and rare items or simply the considerable repair-bill the next morning. But the worst thing about logging on in such a state is ofcourse the risk of fellow guildies being online too....oh the horror. ;) I recently started playing Battleground Europe, and I've been lucky to become member of great squad (S! Hussars!). Each sunday evening my squad is having a "squad-night", doing different things in game. This event is very social with everyone chatting in Ventrilo, having fun and enjoying a beer or two. How anyone is able to play BE and fly around in planes or rolling out a tank WHILE drinking a few beers is beyond me, though ;) Oh, and Vannin, those are some very wise words! I just wanna add: Christmasbeer is also for life....not just fo Christmas :P I remember more than a few times returning home late from an evening out on the town, and being…well…less than sober.

Beer is for life, not just for Christmas. No money for beer = drinking problem

Super Fact.

Beer is for life, not just for Christmas.

I think you'll find as HP said that more do than don't though. As you said Ffaffner your not alone when your MMO'ing with your guild/squad. :) Well I don't tend to drink when gaming, as I only really drink when I'm out.

Are you considering making a poll in your guild to see how many actually do drink "alone"? I think you will find it a bigger part than not :) First of all I'm not sure drinking alone nor "alone" equals a drinking problem, but that's really beside the point (if it does I don't have a drinking problem, I have two).
