    Not I. I can't claim a lot of virtue about this, I just happen to be semi-allergic to alcohol (near instant hangover level illness after a few sips), my throat gets raw from mere traces of particulate smoke, and I'm terrified of altering my mind since, well, that's me and I like me.

    I've played ill, though, and super sleepy. And a few times on mild painkillers. I don't think those count, though.

    Pretty regularly. I actually find I play a little more loose. Of course there are sometimes I forget to change a quickslot back and get hosed when I go to use the wrong thing, but overall better play. Why; Friday nights is even a guild even where we run around Cyrodiil and most of us are drinking.

    Not yet, though I haven't had a drink in a few years and I'm not really sure it's safe to drink on my current medication. Though drunken ESO sounds fun.

    The legal drinking age is 18 in Australia. If you lived here you could be drunk already.

    When you see how some people play.. the answer for them must be yes. Spam snipe with one hand and have a drink in the other hand.

    I've never gotten drunk or high. Ever. Nor will i ever.

    Nor do i like being around people who are. I left my casual PvP guild, in which i was an Officer, because the GM appreciated the bottle while playing, and drunk GM was an emotionally unstable GM.

    Hmm usually when I'm drunk I'm super happy and laughing at everything and wanting to hug friends and family and tell them how awesome they are and that I love them. Not sure how I'd be drunk while playing ESO but I'm a very happy drunk.

    Sure. I didn't mean to be picky.
    I figured if it is something you call yourself and are rightfully proud of, you might want to get it correct so everyone (including non-native speakers) will understand as well.

    I don't drink, at all. Not a moral or health choice - I just don't see the point. Doesn't seem fun I guess? As for other people - I hate being around drunk people (real life reasons), so I'll certainly avoid chat or voice if someone is plastered. Having said that, don't mind me ya'll, go wild! (Safely of course.)

    No but I would if I had opportunity. I have a 2yo and it’s just me at home 90% of the time so don’t have the opportunity to drink

    I like to drink and smoke when I play. It just feels more immersive and the outside world goes away for a bit... plus it makes grinding a lot less boring.

    Edit: Plus I have ADHD and hyperfocus. When I'm mellow I have more patience and persistence.

    The only thing I'm under the influence of is insanity

    repeatedly running the same content in the hope of a different (staff?) outcome.

    Knowing its not going to happen too.

    A few times I've logged in and wondered why the hell I had drunkenly parked a toon in some strange place the night before :(

    about a year in to the game when I had finally figured out what guild traders were, and, i had a collected some gold i used to have quite the challenge with late night "buzzed" guild trader shopping...

    usually the following morning i would check my mail and wonder what in the world made me think it was a good idea to buy a senche's bite resto staff :#

    Playing your character the way your character should play is all that matters. Play as well as you can but never betray the character. Doing so would make playing an mmoRPG pointless.

    Looks like there might be a few breath analyzers installed on some computers soon. What's this Mr Game Master a PWI, Playing While under the Influence? But I swear I have no idea where my stuff and gold went, it was the game.... No Mr Game Master I don't want to make it a falsely filing a bug report...

    I'm curious if any of you ever play after a few or steer clear altogether...?

    For me its a bad idea to mix drinking with ESO... but it does make for hilarious group chats!

    Everyone's got a story of that ONE time...LOL

    Drunken dung runs were the best times of my life, especially when I was on discord with friends :) It was... lets say amazingly fun :blush:
    Drunken PvP dueling games were also cool :) Each time you die you drink :wink:

    EDIT: Forgot about hot summer when everyone was thirsty as hell when we were doing our first v Craglorn trial runs (forgot which one was it i think it was HRC or AA ~2 many years ago to remember now) and I said with my friend: a moment pls and than we went to the fridge and took a can of godly elixir that boosted our morale but sadly at the cost of morale of the rest of the group :pensive:

    After staying up gaming drinking and smoking all night, the next day when I logged in I was in Davon's Watch fountain.

    Luckily I was wearing my clothes still... this time.
