If you enjoy having a a beer every so often, keep your money at home if you set out to do your drinking in a casino. I am serious. Leave your handbag, your billfold, and leave all money, plastic credit and chequebooks back at the hotel. Only take whatever money you anticipate to spend on refreshments, tips and few dollars you expect to lose and leave the rest behind.

Cynical? Not by any means. Just realistic. You might experience a success following a boozy night out with your acquaintances and be blessed sufficiently to catch a 25 minute toss at a smokin craps table. Don’t forget that story because it’s as short-lived as it gets if you always drink alcohol and gamble. The two just don’t go well together.

Leaving your money at home is a little dramatic, but precautionary measures for excessive behavior is essential. If you play to succeed, then don’t consume alcohol and gamble. If you like to be wasteful with your $$$$ nary a concern, then consume all the complimentary booze you can handle, but do not take charge cards and checks to throw into the mix of going after losses after your drunken brain throws away everything!

Let me to carry this 1 step more. Don’t consume alcohol and then go on to the internet to wager in your preferred casino either. I enjoy a beverage from the comfort of my condominium, but seeing that I’m connected through Neteller, Firepay and keep plastic credit at my fingertips, I can not consume alcohol and wager.

What’s the reason? Although I do not drink a lot, once I consume alcohol, it is absolutely adequate to cloud my common sense. I gamble, so I do not drink when gambling. If you are more of a drinker, do not bet when you do. Both make for an awful, and crazy, cocktail.
