Life In 19x19

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

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

Had to dig it up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paracelsus ... toxicology

Hah, yeah, Talisker, Well, I fail...

Trust a Finn to know how to spell the booze.

Correct. Just ask me

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

Do tell, do tell!

Hey, you make us curious

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?
