Crooooooow
What about you two drunk ducks video tape yourselves playing GT5 while drunk. If it isn't too much drinking to ask for a laugh or two?

That would be quite an entertaning 5 finutes. :lol:

Once I get a wheel I'm going to expeirence the difference in driving skill for when you have both hands on the wheel and fully concentrated on the road ahead, versus talking on a cellphone. I expect it will be quite a difference.

I'll be sitting, waiting, wishing right here for it.

I've done it, it didn't go too well.

Yeah, same. It's extraordinary, really. I think the detachment from reality, i.e. not being able to feel the car makes it worse. In a game you're having to concentrate doubly on what your eyes and ears are telling you, because your butt-o-meter™ is getting no feedback! Presumably, that part of your brain which is so useful in sim-racing / gaming is also the part which is busy trying to hold some semblance of a conversation.

It's given me an idea for a practical "joke". Call someone whilst playing with the volume up nice and loud, race around for a bit and crash... :p

Playing whilst inebriated has been my mode of operation for social Gran Turismo-ing since the second game. We used to have fun trying to hot lap in ridiculously fast cars, or battle in very closely matched cars, all the while slowly losing the pertinent physical and mental faculties to drink. I can safely say, similarly to some others here, that the so-called "Ballmer Peak" is real and equally applicable to gaming, at least in my mind! :lol:
 
I usually drink a couple while playing. I don't get wasted or even buzzed but I have a beer or two when I get home from work anyway, so if I can play GT5, chances are I'm putting one down. :sly:

I don't drink and drive IRL, but I did gold the Subaru event with a Sam Adams right next to me... :odd:
 
Never drive drunken! It's really a bad idea, you risk your life & the life of others.

A good example: i just heared in the news that Ryan Dunn (known from Jackass) got killed in a accident with his Porsche 911 GT3 two days ago. His buddy Zachary Hartwell, the co-driver, died as well.


Some hours before the crash he posted the following picture on twitter:

31.835.159



And here some pics from the place of accident. Not much left from both & the Porsche, a piece of dust & a strange deformed piece of metal that you wouldn't think that it was a Porsche (or a car).

I drink, love it like I love all things yummy, don't care for the effects that much. However, the effects are realistic, the more I drink, my response time is slower and my ability to memorize and learn the track is hindered. That said, if keep it down to a 1 drink max per hour and I can drive as good as at full sober.
 
haha Funny this came up as a post. Me and my friends play "drunk driver" basically we all take a lap around a random track and person with slowest lap time has to take a shot of whatever alcohol the rest of the players mix together. Gets pretty sloppy after a few races.
 
I smoke dro before an enduro.

That helped so much in the 24hr of Lemans, especially when it started to get dark.
 
I don't know how good or bad I am sober! Usually I record my races incase I forget them!
