I’ll have one of those….

Usually Bud Light but after a couple I’ll sip whiskey or bourbon. I carry also but CCW not allowed in bars or any establishment where alcohol is 50% or greater of their income. If I’m going to drink I leave Walther at home
 
Diet Pepsi.

I've played one competitive set in my life while drinking, turned out about as good as one can expect. That was the first time I played that person, got my butt kicked. He didn't beat me again for over 4 years ;)
 
bubbly water with cranberry juice, its sweet but not a gut bomb like coke or something.

If I drink beer I like beer that's made to the Bavarian standards , without sugar. If you want cheap alcohol you can make it with the regular beer ingredients, plus add a bunch of sugar and the yeast feeds off the sugar to make more alcohol, That's how you make cheap beer, but its not very good.. That's how most American beer is made. If you go to Germany, they know how to make it right. and have for centuries.

I'll opt for a doobie over an alcoholic beverage any day, but I know its still illegal in some states.
 
If I am playing casually, just a Reds Apple Ale, with a glass of ice, and a Coke Zero, or Caffeine Free Diet Coke on the side.
😎

Years ago it could have been a doob and a beer.
Today is more likely to be water or coffee.

Playing at an event in Thailand taught me that playing after blowing O's doesn't do anything for you. Makes you relax and enjoy it more. Maybe more observant from the chair while you're watching someone grind you out lol
I used to smoke and play snooker back home. Was very relaxing. It makes me more focussed for a lot of work related activities. But for competitive endeavors, it's not the one :ROFLMAO:

There are some stores that have random gimmicks, but not come across one that relates to lucky numbers in such a way. Would be funny though!

I read also that the Tongs consider red bad luck. Crazy culture.

I assume you mean the Tang dynasty? (very interesting period and one of my favorites to read about) - Dynastic periods had set royal colors, but I am not sure about specific lucky ones. I think Red and Gold have been synonymous with luck for a substantial amount of time there. When you drive through the CBD, my brain always takes a minute to remember that red is for stock price increase here, and green is depicting a fall :ROFLMAO:

All culture is crazy, and from a human purpose perspective, doesn't really need to exist... Great way to divide people and set up hegemonic structures of power though...
 
I remember a local skier got busted for having pot in his system, then they realized it wasn't a performance enhancing drug.. so well if he wasn't getting better performance anyway, then why was it banned ? maybe he won by getting a better sleep than the other racers.

some do coke to stay up all night practicing, Short term, maybe all the practice helps ;-) Next thing they are looking for the stuff that got mixed into their coke that they just so happened to get addicted to and then its a slippery slope.. There are just so many that fell down that hole, very sad.

Reasons for the illegality of weed are long and complicated. But I completely agree, it's great for rest, recuperation or focus based tasks if you have a wandering mind. For physically exerting or competitive endeavors, it's an absolute -500xp from the skill level :ROFLMAO:

It's a very deep hole, and indeed a very sad and sour subject for many.

In the states there were Asian gangs referred to as the Tongs. Don't hear much about them anymore.

Oh! Got you. Immigrant gangs, mafias and such are always very interesting. US due to it's history, politics and ability to have handheld killing machines has always been a breeding ground for such things.
So is Tongs like a generalized name for asian gangster? Or it's a specific firm titled as such?

Really don't know how their society works - few do. They were rising on a mission in the 70s and 80s but got upstaged by the Latinos seems.
