Yes I agree with that which is the point is that casinos have various ways outside of the rules in the system in each game provided to make gamblers more comfortable when betting such as providing women to trigger the spirit and courage of gamblers and also providing alcoholic drinks which are all provided with the aim of making gamblers forget the time and to make gamblers crazier in every decision.
In the end, it all comes back to you or what is meant is depending on how smart you are in managing money and controlling yourself, although many things can trigger various more aggressive actions outside of the influence of emotions but when you understand the impact of for example consuming alcoholic drinks then you should not consume it or at least only consume a little so that you don't get drunk and so that your decisions in every bet do not exceed your capabilities.
As for the alcohol drinks, I think it is still 50:50, back then when I still take a drink on casinos and with a lot of money to play, I will go YOLO on some games like slot machines and do max bet. There are games that due to the effect of alcohol, I won big like $5k-$10k in just one sitting. However, I wouldn't recommend it as we all know that it's just luck on my side perhaps and those drinks could really distort your decision making.
So just ignore those free drinks around, for sure you can buy it as well, but not in the casinos as the effect could really be that bad in the end and you will wake up in the morning really don't know what happened to you and how you lose the money that you have.
Yes, with the experience you have, I might say that alcohol is not something that will always lead you to defeat, especially when you play a type of game of chance because as you experienced, you managed to achieve a large amount of winnings in just one sitting when you played while consuming alcohol and it might be right to say that in fact the victory you achieved was not because of the influence of alcohol but because at that time you were nothing more than lucky, my friend.
So yes, the result is still 50-50 because casino games depend on luck regardless of whether you play while consuming alcohol or not, but what I mean here is that the influence of alcohol can really encourage a gambler to make impulsive decisions without any consideration so that when it turns out that at that time luck does not come, it is clear that they will lose a large amount of money, and I think from some of your ideas in the last paragraph I can see that we are on the same page in responding to this.
