Does anyone drink and heal?

[Wawachume]

Only with friends and only when were all doing it. DO NOT PUG while drinking.

^ This. Don't be like the tank I got in Ala Mhigo who said they were drunk, pulled everything up to the first wall, ate up all my lustrate charges, died, called us idiots, and left the group.

It's not a constant or habit but...out of curiosity, (mind you I don't do extremes / 'endgame' stuff but roulette etc)
Last night I had a (Ehem) few and after a rather smooth run the thought came to me, does anyone else?

After years on (pre 5.0) AST I could easily toss out effective cards like a blackjack dealer after some drinks but had a few Oh SH moments last night but nothing a few ogcd would worry about.

Is anyone so comfortable in their respective healer role as to imbibe and keep 3 (or more) other people from around the globe, alive? Also interested in reading funny anecdotes on the matter. The healer thread is pretty wound up lately, I'd like to hear any of our whimsical sides. Thanks! (^_^)/"

Let's just say I'm very, very comfortable. I've bin SCH waaay too long. Some nights I get reeeaaally comfortable along with the rest of our (rather small) FC. I think it's rather common

Absolutely. Not every night, but sometimes sure. I strongly enjoyed when the healer food I used in Heavensward was Frozen Spirits - Basically a banana margarita if I remember correctly. Made it more enjoyable to act like my static was driving my character to alcoholism.

While it's fun to say all the mistakes my friends are making are causing me to have to drink, in the end I'm just a social drinker at this point and if a group is gathered sometimes I'll have 2-3 drinks over the course of a night. I get a little more relaxed and have been told I'm a happy drinker, so that's a small boon, as I do get frustrated during progression at times.

Since I'm not a lightweight, it has little impact on my performance so long as I'm pacing well. I don't drink to the point of drunkenness, just the tingle or buzz. As with many things, knowing your limits and moderating yourself leads to a pretty fun time with friends.

Edit: Never forget the water if you're having a few. When you do overdo it a little, you'll dodge the repercussions of dehydrating your brain.

Games are usually the way I relax and unwind from work and/or class. So I've yet to log into ffxiv without a drink in hand.

Seriously, now I want to drink and it's 1:45 in the afternoon...

[DJMau]

Been around enough drunks in my life to not want any part of alcohol.

I think the saying is, 'it's always 5 o'clock somewhere'.

I respect that. I certainly have had my fair share of alcoholics as well, it's why I never drink yo get drunk, I just have a small mixed drink typically and will call it there.
