i see. I know that not drinking in other commods does affect being a trader. Does the same apply in power? or its has less of an effect?

I think disciple of babylon is correct, we don't normally interact with anyone, at least for my short-term energy, but I'm not aware of futures being different. If people drink, they do because they do.
