It's pretty much a given that getting drunk decreases hand/eye coordination along with your ability to concentrate, which are some of the most vital attributes to shooting pool.  So other than maybe being more relaxed, it's completely illogical and improbable that anyone shoots better pool drunk than while sober.  I won't say it's impossible, because I suppose there could be some freak of nature out there who somehow does play better while drunk, but those types of people are far few and in between.  Who knows.....maybe you're one of those freaks, freak.  I just know that I've never once seen a person shoot pool better drunk than sober.   

Also, that the whole "I do blah blah blah better when I'm drunk" is one of the dumbest things to ever come out of a person's mouth.  You don't sing better when you're drunk, you just don't sound as bad in your own head.  You can't dance better after 6 shots of tequilla.  You still look stupid but you're just too drunk and having too much fun to give a shtein.  You can't shoot pool better, you're just more relaxed at the table.  And if they person you're playing against is drunk too, then you both suck something awful but in your head you feel as though you're engaged in some all-time epic pool battle. 

There's only 2 things a person does really well when drunk.....

Farging fat bitches and "forgetting" about it the next day.

Go to my friends list on facebook, look up Ben Guitas. He's my old roommate. Ask him how much better of a pool player I am when I'm drunk. I can't explain it either.

to each his own but pool sucks and is not a sport

its a game

half credit

congrats

Wrong again Einstein. Pool is a sport. Just like auto racing, golf, hunting, bowling, and in your lard asses case competitive eating, is a sport. Just because you probably suck at all of 'em 'sept the latter doesn't make them any less of a sport.

There's a difference between "sport" and "athletic competition."  Pool, Bowling, Darts, etc are all sports even though there is very little or no athletic ability needed to play any of them.  Any pool player or dart thrower or bowler who ever refers to himself as an athlete is seriously mistaken though and annoys the living piss out of me.  They are sportsman, not athletes.  Just like pitchers and kickers.     

Most people throw hunting and even fishing under the "sport" category.  Each competition has it's own set of rules and guidelines that must be adhered to. 

However, I don't really consider either to be a sport because I find no sportsmanship in either of them.  Sitting 200 yds away from a deer and shooting it with a scoped rifle isn't very sporting imo.  Neither is using scientifically designed lures that are made to attract fish. 

Fishing is literally no different than parking a van next to a playground with a sign that says "Free Candy" on it.  So unless Child Abduction is considered a sport, then fishing isn't one either. 

In fact, anything that requires the killing of an animal isn't sport imo unless it's simply man vs animal.  I'd love nothing more than to see a man and a bull in an arena where the bull isn't drugged and stabbed multiple times.  Just 1 dude, 1 bull and about 20 square yards of room to run.   

Of course, just because I don't consider them very sporting doesn't mean that the rest of the world agrees with me.

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds

Fish aren't exactly known for being highly intelligent creatures.  Neither are the redneck hillbillies on the pro-fishing circuit.  So watching these inbred jackoffs get so excited about catching one of the dumbest animals on the planet is pretty laughable to me.

Hunting and fishing require skill and dedication and committment, but neither are sports. shtein, neither are even competetive. Who are you competing against? The fish? Do you get to talk trash and sleep with their fish girlfriends after winning? Does the dead whitetail owe you a six pack after you beat him in a game of one on one in the forest?

I don't really know what the hell my point is but venison is delicious. Oh and baseball is boring.
Is rjs gonna have to choke a bitch?

It's doe or die out there in the woods.

Whether that dead whitetail owes you a six pack or not, you gotta admit it took some skill to out fox it.
