Drunk Chess

Because you're decieving yourself. Get into a 12 step program. Alcoholism is complicated and insidious.

Yeah I'm drunk right now. I happen to think more clearly about chess after about a bottle and a half of Italian wine. When I'm sober, I'd like be pondering whether to play 4. ... Nf6 or 4. ...Bc5 in the Scotch game but in the back of my mind I'd be wondering about half a million things, not the least of which being why does Miami suck so much, ya know?

He's no alcoholic, he's a drunk. Know the difference?
Us drunks don't have to go to meetings. And when we do, it's in a bar.
Very funny.
A man has to believe in something. I believe I'll have another drink.
Rehab is for quitters
Man A "You're drunk." Man B "You're ugly. Tomorrow I'll be sober, and you'll still be ugly."
"Jerry, why did you sell your bar?" "I got tired of going to the funerals of my friends."
"Uncle Bob, how come you never have a hangover?" "Every morning when I wake up, I drink a water glass of vodka as fast as I can. If it stays down, no hangover. If it comes back up, I slam the vodka again until it stays down."
hilarious.

I'm not a choir, and nobody said you sinned. I used to play while drinking with a friend of mine. He suffered some business reverses, switched from beer to Jim Beam and died of cirrhosis of the liver. I've watched family members drink themselves to death. I have a different perspective. Your performance is not the question, your relationship to alcohol is. If you want to post your experiences, you have that right. I have the right to express my opinion, so don't get upset if I'm not a cheerleader.

My friend was not a moron, he was very intelligent. You must be one of those mean drunks to resort to insulting dead people you didn't know. Why is it important to you that others approve of your desire to get "hammered?" I'm just some guy on the internet.
Alcohol is a depressant, and I'm not aware of a scienific explanation unless you're really tense when you play sober.

The words "asshole," fuck," "retard" and "bitchfest" are not commonly used in scientific discussions.
Maybe as a 'friend' you could have done more to save him. Did you think about that? - typical of an alcoholic. You're not responsible for your own life, so someone has to "save" you. You believe you can manipulate others by piling on the guilt.
Is there a large demographic for people who 'resort to insulting dead people I didn't know when drunk'? If so, please direct me to their website, asshole. - you're quite correct. You may be the only one!
