...While beer certainly is high on the list, I've found several occasions where it just didn't feel optimal. I find that rum, or anything rummy usually works very nice in the gaming couch.
What are your thoughts fellow bombers?
Alcoholic Beverages
Beverages that cause the imbiber to become intoxicated.
Best beverage for gaming?
Totally agree with OP. A mixed rundrink that I made myself is great. Also a glass or 2 of red wine or a few beers. But really, a good mixed drink is great.
If I'm going non alcoholic a big can of an energy drink of choice or if I'm all out of everything I'll go with a big cup of strong coffee.
Agreeing with DEllen there, Irn-Bru is the best for alcohol-free gaming.
I generally got with a pint or six of bitter for gaming. Something light though.
Mike's...but never too many. I find that after 3, Wolfenstein 3D becomes unplayable.
Orange Juice is also very nice.
" Is this alcoholic or non alcholic? "I was mainly thinking alcoholic, seeing as this is where i posted the topic.
...But I'm not one to be too picky, if you have great tips for non-alcoholic bring them on. I was just afraid that seeing how non-alcoholic is a bit more diverse and a bit more flood-prone this would derail into inconsolable taste-wars...
Technically beer or any alcohol would be the worst drink for gaming, it slows down your reaction time, motor skills, and vision. The best thing is probably an energy drink.
Depends entirely on what I'm playing. If it's something slow paced or story driven I drink scotch normally glenfidditch but if it's something more fast paced I go with maybe a beer or a rye and coke. Of course if I'm not in a boozy kind of mood I go with my stand by of either pepsi with lime or home made ice tea.

But on the other hand it makes me do stuff I would'nt normally do in games due to being too scared of trying it and therefore it actually makes me better
at some games (I play League of Legends waaay better when I've had a few beers. It never fails to surprise me)
