If you enjoy having a a drink every once in a while, leave your money at home if you set out to do your consuming in a casino. I am serious. Clean out your purse, your billfold, and leave all cash, plastic credit and cheques out of the casino. Only take only the cash you expect to spend on alcohol, tipping and few dollars you anticipate to lose and leave the rest behind.

Pessimistic? Absolutely not. Just realistic. You could have a win following a drunken night out with your buddies and be lucky sufficiently to hit a marathon toss at a hot craps game. Hang on to that account seeing that it’s as short-lived as it gets if you continuously drink alcohol and gamble. These activities simply do not mix.

Leaving your money at home might be a bit dramatic, but preventative actions for excessive actions is required. If you bet to succeed, then do not drink and bet. If you like to be wasteful with your $$$$ without a worry, then consume all the gratuitous booze you are able to handle, but do not carry charge cards and checkbooks to throw into the mix of following losses after your drunken self throws away all the cash!

Allow me to carry this one step further. Don’t consume alcohol and then go online to play in your preferred casino either. I enjoy a cocktail from the comfort of my abode, but considering that I am connected through Neteller, Firepay and have charge cards at my fingertips, I can’t drink alcohol and bet.

How come? Even though I do not consume alcohol to excess, when I consume alcohol, it is certainly enough to cloud my better judgment. I gamble, so I don’t consume alcohol when betting. If you are more of a drinker, do not bet at the same time. When mixed, both create a decimating, and crazy, drink.
