Food and poker

Food and poker are two things that at first glance have nothing to do with each other. Unless of course we're talking about a night in with friends, where you're all munching on pizza slices, drinking beer and playing poker at the same time. Fun times, but that's not where I'm getting at.
Poker is all about maximizing your expected value in a given situation. And even though studying the game and finding ways to improve your poker skills are obviously the top priorities of any player, there are other ways that can bring you one step closer to success. Let's assume, for example, that you go out at night and have a couple (and then a couple more) drinks with your friends. If you wake up hangover the next day, then you're more likely to take the day off rather than hit the poker tables which could potentially have disastrous results on your bankroll.
The effects of alcohol are easily detectable. But when it comes to food we rarely think about how it's going to affect our performance. You know that drowsiness that you get sometimes after eating? People tend to underestimate it, but apart from being unpleasant it can also have a negative impact on your game. And if you're playing while feeling sleepy then you're obviously not playing your A game. Maybe it's not too bad and you're not playing your C game either (depending on whether you ate some slices of pizza or the whole box of a family-sized one). Unfortunately, even if you're playing your A minus you are losing money.

Works both ways, What if I'm too hungover so I don't go play and in so doing avoid the cooler/bad beat/cold deck? :)

I disagree with your leniency Babs. I think this is a glaring violation of copyright and obvious plagiarism, with no respect shown to the original author. The poster also doesn't contribute to threads at all. I'm not sure what or who it is and what it's up to, but I would suspend if not nuke immediately.
