unfortunately I find thats the only way to fly, my advice would be not to drink and use the oculus rift at the same time.

What one needs is two, maybe a three beer buzz, more than that is a bad plan!

I sense a story behind this statement. Please tell.

 

[MajorEpeen]

This is bad advice. It is a well known fact that flying skill is improved by 7.5% for every unit of alcohol consumed.

100 pints of beer and make it snappy !

Its a well known fact that flying skill is improved by 7.5% for every unit of alcohol consumed.

So... 14 beers to 105%

My ship has a well stocked beverage cooler. So did all the previous ships I've crashed into station walls and/or others.

Flying makes me nervous, so I too have to drink a bottle of whiskey to calm my nerves before hopping into the cockpit. Honest, officer.

Works surprisingly well - had to switch to smaller glasses as my Bordeaux glasses were too big to drink wearing the rift, but other than that, it's all fine.

(Except maybe that one time were I passed out whilst playing and woke up in a spaceship, which led me to frantically check if I had probes within any of my cavities ).

I recommend siphoning wine from the bottle via straw to combat the need for hands as well.

Better yet, use a Camelback so you don't spill it.

 

[CATPAIN KIRK]

I guess both of your advices would ruin the taste - I use these for now - small enough to drink comfortably and they don't break should you knock them over.

Pure class!

I never undock unless I have a high enough blood alcohol level. Just enough to grease the wheels, you know?

Anyway, moving to off-topic.

Off-topic? How do expect us to ever be Elite?

The bottles of bourbon I've drank in space so far is... ...Impressive
