<p>Sure, most people do. There’s no breathalyzer lock-out device for trading platforms. In fact, you can do almost anything drunk or stoned. Dean Martin famously performed and hosted events while drinking. Elon Musk famously got stoned during a podcast interview, although as CEO of SpaceX, he will make life-and-death decisions affecting the safety of astronauts. And Winston Churchill famously “defended the free world” while drunk, going up against the Nazis every day with a bottle of Scotch in his gut.

<p>You might get lucky while trading under the influence of alcohol but one thing is for sure you'll lose concentration if you drunk or high and we all know how important concentration is for a trader.</p>

<p>A large dose of alcohol - at this moment all mediator systems begin to suffer, everything happens very differently here, because after all, our brain is individual. Someone at this moment can become very aggressive, someone, on the contrary, will fall into crying and depression. Anyway, it happens in different ways. If a person uses alcohol frequently and regularly, that is several times a week, at least in average doses, then addiction begins to develop.</p>

<p>If you have problems with alcohol, then you shouldn't do such a hard and tense thing as trading. And personally, I also prefer not to mix alcohol with trading, as the result is quite unwelcome. If you have already started drinking, then don't trade that day, and perhaps even the next day, as the hangover also prevents you from thinking normally. And on the contrary - if you have already started trading, then until you finish - you shouldn't start drinking. I think that's understandable.</p>
