PUI (Playing under the influence)
How many of you have played whilst under the influence of recreational drugs or alcohol, and how many of you have woken up the next morning unable to remember what occurred in-game, or regret your in-game actions? 
I've heard (and witnessed) some serious horror stories about those who choose to mix mood-altering consumables with gaming! Lets hear yours!

✭✭✭✭✭Don't craft while under the influence! Take it from, ah, a friend
You'll find impulse armor in your inventory. But totally dye your armor while smoking some, ah, skooma, you'll have a blast staring at all the colors

✭✭✭✭✭I do indulge in a couple of beers, glasses of wine or mixed drinks mostly on weekends or when Im on vacation.
I am at the age and point in my life where drinking too much isnt much fun any more and it takes to long to recover.
So getting drunk is something I dont do any more. Honestly I dont miss it one bit either.
I never tried drugs and I dont care to either.Edited by Katahdin on 28 December 2016 05:53Beta tester November 20134 -

✭✭Once medical marijuana becomes legalized right here in Florida I will be smoking a lot of pot (for medical purposes of course) while playing ESO. I'm not sure how I will react... Maybe I'll start hanging around the flock of Chub Loons and pretend to be one of them for a while.... up until I'm no longer high.
They seem to be fun to hang out....
Too bad ZOS is greedy as a skooma dealer, and decided to put them in the crown crate store.Edited by raidentenshu_ESO on 28 December 2016 05:563 -

HAHA yes! Some people go to nightclubs and spend $$$ on drinks, I go to the Crown Store/Auction House (depending which game I'm playing, and either spend real money or game gold on all those items I've always wanted but just weren't justifiable whilst in a sober state

✭I generally do not. Playing while drinking, everything moves too fast lol. But I must have logged in at some point a long time ago while drinking, because there is no other explanation for the guar mount I own and don't remember buying.

✭I don't drink, but I have also never played eso without smoking weed before and during play. It's not exactly performance enhancing, but neither is it particularly detrimental, just keeps me chilled. Everything I've done in game has been done stoned.PC | EU3 -

That wasn't very nice. Take a look at your judgemental attitude, re-read what you just wrote. I don't feel like I deserved that. I don't drink and therefore don't contribute to the mayhem and misery that drink is responsible for. I know my IQ and kind of want to tell you, but I won't. Suffice to say your comment did nothing to knock my confidence, despite seeming like it was intended to.PC | EU15 -
Imo the worst part of playing under influence comes when you open guild or crown store. Spend a lot of crowns and gold for total garbage. There is bright side too. My female crafter have pretty white dress now

I've played whilst under the influence of various substances. One time I did a total and complete respec my main character, left all the guilds I was in and fell asleep on the keyboard. When I logged back in I was convinced my account had been hacked by one of my mates. Turns out it was just me being a silly girl3 -

✭✭✭✭You might not believe me, but I never played under any influence. Not a single drop of booze, nor any drug, legal or ilegal. I must be a minority on that.2 -
I'm going to believe you. I don't really do it now because it *** be over for days on end, trying to work out what the hell I was doing1

Damn, I am not tolerant to that lol. No coffee, no energy drinks. I guess I picked Nord to drink all that mead in game, since I am sober irl3 -
kamimark✭✭✭✭I most often play in the morning with coffee, or at night with beer or drinks. Fishing is prime drinking time, because I can read chat or Twitter, drink, and hit E when needed.
Combat's a little hazy and confusing even sober, so I don't do anything complex when very drunk, but one or two won't affect it.

But it's not all bad stories!
My fondest memory of drunken players was of two very shy guildies who both happened to be slightly intoxicated at the same time.
They went from never speaking in guild chat to anyone, to chatting together on teamspeak, then BAM two years later they're engaged.
This may never have occurred if not for the influence of alcohol!
True story!

It's your body and it's your choice, but it's everyone's game, and other people don't deserve to pay for your decisions.
If smokers can be courteous enough to not light up around people who don't want to smell it, if drinkers can party where appropriate and not make a public scene, etc. I believe people who insist on using recreational drugs can keep their choices from negatively affecting others.
