It depends. Do you see why?
Not sure how serious you're being, but to counter that back to the poker topic let's compare.

Recreational Drinker #1 / Poker Player #1
Goes to the bar on Friday night, has a sensible amount of drinks, gets a little buzz on, doesn't wake up with a stranger next to him and a monster hangover the next morning / Sees an opportunity to play back at a suspected maniac who may be playing any two cards, thinks he has a good read, loses the hand, but takes it for what it was and doesn't tilt off the rest of his stack.

Recreational Drinker #2 / Poker Player #2
Goes to the same bar, gets hammered, takes a leak in the urinal (potted fern) charms a hottie (transvestite) and wakes up the next morning with the biggest monster of a headace he's ever had and a sore asshole. / Doesn't like being reraised by some jerk, pushes his whole stack in, loses, proceeds to lose a couple more buyins trying to win his money back. Wakes up the next morning and thinks what the fuck was I thinkin?

Anyway, guess my point is, who says because your a recreational drinker that your going to get crazy drunk with it? Good poker player spaces out his drinks, he's not slamming them back one after another.

How confusing is this reply?
