Improve Your Casino Games with These Smart Drinks

by Bodog Casino | Aug 13 2009

If you've pulled up a chair in a casino and played some Blackjack or slots for a couple of hours you know that gambling and drinking go together like pro sports and instant replay.

But why?

Maybe it's because you're sitting so long and need to do something between hands (or spins). Or maybe it's because gaming has some of the same social elements of clubbing or heading to a lounge; especially if there's some ladies in the vicinity.

Unfortunately, while a little liquid courage is great for picking up the ladies (most of the time) it's not always great for playing strategic games like Blackjack, Baccarat, Pai Gow or Caribbean Stud Poker.

That's why we suggest these alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages that may actually help your game:

Red Bull

We're not quite sure what's in these energy drinks (according to Germans it may be cocaine), but it's legal, and it's great for gaming. Why? Well the commercials say it best: "Red Bull energizes and revitalizes your mind and body." The mind part is all that matters to us. You need to be sharp in order to make money at the tables and very few liquids can do it better.

You may want to mix some vodka with your Red Bull but keep in mind that very few things mask alcohol better. If you're not careful you could lose your Red Bull "wings" in between hands and end up making some stupid plays.

Vodka Martini

We don't think a vodka martini specifically makes you smarter, however, it is associated with a gambler that never loses: James Bond. And when you order the drink - shaken not stirred of course - you immediately get a shot of gambling confidence and intelligence. This is because when you drink like Bond, you feel like Bond. Trust us when we say this martini can make you money.

Dos Equis

This drink falls under the same category as the vodka martini: positive drink by association. We don't know who came up with the ad campaign for this beer, we don't even know where they found a guy who actually looks interesting, but it worked. When we drink Dos Equis we immediately believe we ourselves have become infinitely more interesting, intelligent, and cooler - three things that are integral to beating a casino.

Coffee

Up in the morning for some early gambling? Nothing beats this classic. We suggest going for an original blend as "Starbucks-ing" you coffee with mocha or chai will take away from what you need from the drink: heat and caffeine.

Get coffee in your system early and you'll be cruising with energy up until lunch time; then you can have a Red Bull.

Wheatgrass Shots

We're not even sure if shots of wheatgrass help the body and mind, but some earthy dude at a Juggo Juice told us it did and we went on a hot streak playing Blackjack immediately after.

So we suggest shooting this in your favorite tequila glass and immediately getting on the tables. If it works as advertised you should get the focus required to make money without having to put any potentially harmful stimulants in your body.
