A,C,D and E
 
 
I can't play games drunk, I can't focus. Playing NHL/NFL at a buddies house drunk is about all I can pull off. Otherwise I just piss myself off at how much i suck at the game. 
 
Same deal with stressed, I can't justify playing the games because I know I should be studying/working. Looking forward to this summer so I can actually get in some quality gaming time.

A for me.  Though drunk/stoned is fun but I couldn't do it all the time.  I find it a good stress reliever and good in the morning as well.  Late at night isn't too bad but once you hit that super tired point everything that happens just becomes annoying as fuck.
 
I guess what I'm trying to say is I like playing games all the time.

There are a few games I would recommend to play while stressed or during a quick study break. Geo Wars 1 and 2, any Guitar Hero game if you play on high difficulty, or something like Amplitute or Frequency just to keep your brain firing and making crazy connections. Works well for me anyway, quickly gets the adrenaline pumping and keeps the brain stimulated.

I don't like playing games when I'm super tired, but I don't have the time to play them when I'm super awake. I play mostly after work and in between classes.

First thing in the morning is prime time for me, I think it goes back to another post on here about playing better whilst just zoning out.  
My hands have been playing video games long enough to know what to do by now, I just over complicate things.

Interesting to see people picking the '1st thing in the morning choice' - this was defo my favourite choice when I was a kid. There was nothing quite like whipping out the old snes 8am on a sunday when everyone else is aslepp and playing some Zelda, Mario, Bomberman, SF2 etc.

Not drunk, but after only one pint. ~I feel so happy and love to play. Seeing as I just had my dinner here in Ireland, and had a pint with my dinner, i'm about to play :)

I like A most of the time, however if I just got a game I'm really into (AC2, ME2, etc.) and I don't have shit to do the next day, I'm pretty pumped for the next morning.  
 
A most of the time, but D sometimes as well.

Yeah man, I remember as a kid waking up and I could reach my N64 from my bed and when I was even younger I would run downstairs before school and play some Mario Kart on the SNES.

@nail1080: Yeah the shorter span games I can still play. I did try that with SF4, but playing that, there's a 50% chance I'll get MORE frustrated if I'm playing online.

I used to looove to take shrooms and play, but I've gotten kind of sick of hallucinogens over the years. Almost always play sober now. Wii Sports is about the only thing fun to play drunk

A.
 
But sometimes playing certain games is nice for stress relief if you're pissed off about something. I know a couple minutes in GTA can help let off a little steam.
 
And every once in a while it's fun to turn a multi-player game into a drinking game. I can't remember the specific rules, but I remember playing a drinking game of Super Smash Bros. Brawl for an evening. Four friends playing in 3-life free-for-all and I think the rules were that whoever got first and second place each game would take a shot. It was quite fun and was somewhat self-balancing because the shots would help dull the reflexes of players who were winning more often. Lots of shots were had. Lots of fun was had.

Since I was a kid I seem to have the sharpest skills when I first wake up.
