If you like to have a drink occasionally, keep your cash out of the casino if you set out to do your drinking in a casino. I am serious. Leave your purse, your billfold, and leave all cash, credit cards and checkbooks back at the hotel. Grab whatever cash you intend to spend on alcohol, tipping and only the pocket change you expect to burn and keep the remainder behind.

Contemptuous? Not at all. Just realistic. You may well experience a win following a boozy night out with your friends and be blessed enough to hit a long roll at a smokin craps table. Hang on to that story because it’s as short-lived as it gets if you always consume alcohol and wager. The pair just don’t mix.

Leaving your moolah back at the hotel might be a little bit dramatic, but preventative measures for dramatic behavior is essential. If you play to succeed, then don’t drink and bet. If you can afford to throw aside your assets nary a worry, then drink all the free booze your stomach are able to handle, but don’t pack charge cards and checks to toss into the mix of following squanderings after your befuddled head throws away everything!

Allow me to take this one step more. Don’t drink and then hop on the net to wager in your best-liked online casino either. I enjoy a cocktail from the coziness of my domicile, but seeing that I am linked up through Neteller, Firepay and keep plastic credit at my fingertips, I can’t drink and gamble.

Why? Although I do not consume alcohol a lot, when I consume alcohol, it’s absolutely adequate to blur my common sense. I wager, so I do not consume alcohol when gambling. If you are a drinker, don’t wager at the same time. When mixed, both create a dangerous, and costly, cocktail.
