This interesting article discusses an old issue between chess professionals and aficionados, it is known that many world class players had serious problems with drinking and there is a myth about the benefits of playing with a couple of "shots" aboard. But seriously that's just a myth, the only possible truth is that there are some geniouses that are able to perform even in some extreme conditions, to my mind come some names and anecdotes, just to name a few, Tahl, Kramnik, Ivanchuck. Those three were frequent pub visitors and won chess tournaments in the middle of eternal hangovers. Don´t ever drink and play chess to a russian or you will get you a** severely kicked.
