Wow, such zealousness! It almost makes me want to replace my avatar and signature with a good ol' "Mmmmm, beer is good"...
My name is Gijs, from Utrecht, NL.

When in doubt, play the most aggressive move

I remember someone (famous, but unfortunately I don't remember who) once stated something along these lines:

"everything is toxic, it's only a matter of dose"

I believe it is pretty much correct.

PS Do you mean Talisker? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talisker)

I've heard this is something of a motto for pharmacology students :)

I know a german 4-dan player who drinks every evening at the go-club (once or twice a week) 2x 0,5L beer. When playing him I somehow have the feeling that the more he drinks the better he plays ;-)

Maybe we should all drop the drinker-discussion and try to have some entertaining conversation. I still have an ace-story up in my sleeves but it feels to embarassing to tell ;)

No, kinda depressing sitting in front of the PC playing baduk drunk! I rather drink when going out or something.

I don't think I ever played while drunk, but I've played while high and all the concepts like thickness and influence seemed much more intuitive and visually obvious. I'm pretty sure I played above my usual level.

I have lost in a drinking contest to a fellow Go player though. Next time I'll be better prepared!

I don't get drunk often, but when I am drunk I often do the following:
1.) Try to get the attention of other people.
2.) Try to say funny things.
3.) Do pushups. I'm not sure why I do this. Maybe it's because it doesn't hurt as much when I do them for awhile(?).

If I do anything related to go, it is typically kibitzing.

Maybe I will have to try playing the next time I drink.

Any prediction when that might happen? ;-)
