TOPIC:

I was just curious to see how many serious DTR2 racers enjoy an adult beverage whilst racing. Do you abstain from alcohol before and during a race? Do you try to limit yourself from becoming too drunk to make it stick in the turns? Is there such a thing as too drunk to race?

I have found that I run more consistent lines and set personal records after I've had a couple of beers, but if I drink three or four in a short amount of time and try to race I tend to get sloppy. Maybe it's just a coincidence that my lap times go down after a couple of beers.

gotta be relaxed 2 do well at anything, however if u relax 2 much (2 many beers) then u wreck on the track and off lol. i found this out the hard way..didnt race dtr2 back then, but did drink 2 many beers. been sober now almost 10 yrs..not 1 beer since jan 12, 2002...in hospital 9 days with enlarged liver and hepititis a b c or d (not sure which 1..1 where u drink 2 many beers). back to your point tho czburger, no i don't see it as just a coincedence your lap times are better after a cpl beers and no coincedence u wreck more after 2 many of them either.

I don't know...squirrel drives a whole lot better when he's sober lol. I don't drink either, though.

i have been known to partake in the adult beverages from time to time , if i am going to race and drink i wont usually start drinkin til the race starts that way im only 2-3 drinks in by the time its over , i have gone past the point of no return a few times while racing and i have learned my lesson

lmao deadbolt us older guys lived and learned it. lord i'd hate 2 see it if shock drank. son, plz let me know if u ever start. 1st i'd withdraw from that event then come to tn and kick ur a@@. nah, i have nothing against anyone who has an occasional brew, just i can't stop at 1 or a few, so i choose none. db the time u talkin abt was priceless tho...very glad u back with us after the time, but it was funny. real people playing a real game real emotions whether drunk, tipsy or just plain stupid...as i can be at times 2 lol.

I have to stay sober so that I can focus enough to record all the other people who are drunk in ventrilo haha

LOL. Nice.

By the way, I would never drive an actual car on the road after partaking in adult beverages. I should have stated that in the original post. I have bailed too many friends out of jail for DWI and have been in a serious wreck while sober, so I have absolutely no desire to drive around after knocking a few back.

On the other hand, since I play DTR2 in the comfort of my own home, I might as well put my cupholder to good use.

Well Imma a Pot Head and I smoke between every hotlap, Q , and races. As Mcgee I havn't drank for 9 years, but I do have 1 occasionally, but when I did drink I always noticed after 2 beers, I was 10 foot tall and bulletproof, (reason I stopped: I wasn't)!!!! Maybe the aggresive not givin a crap attitude makes ya faster, BIGGER BALLS!!! lol

lmao jsn! same deal happened to me too, but this dude was baaaaaad news bout beat me 1/2 to death...realize 2day it was the pills and the booze talking 4 me then and most times know when to shut my trap now lol. as far as the pot goes, u definately are relaaaaaaaxed when u race, then.

LOL MC! At least he left the good half!!! Momma always said, "Your not going to learn till someone beats the crap out of ya!", well I learnt!!! I had a pill problem also MC. After one of my bad mini sprint flips, I shattered my knee, and had 3 reconstructive surgeries. The doctors had me on Oxycontin 80s, which I ended up abusing, up to 20 a day, which when they found out I was abusing them, they took me off, cold turkey. I wanted to die, felt like I was going to. After almost losing my racing career and my family. I vowed to NEVER touch another pill again. Wich kinda sucked because I had to have a couple teeth removed after a bobble into the wall, which I did without pain meds, that sucked!!! But to date it will be 9 years in August since I touched a Pain med. Only thing I will take is Aleve*! So for the 6 degrees of seperation, we can all be here for eachother. For drinking and driving, please just DO!T here, for we all have family on the roads, I know women drivers are just as bad, but remember, the life u save might be your own!!!
