Drunk

Your character can become drunk by consuming any kind of alcohol. While drunk, your character's vision will be blurred, and they may act erratically by shouting random phrasing or performing emotes. Drunkenness cannot be removed except by waiting for the effect to wear off. Drinking enough alcohol will make the character famous for being a Drunkard.

Levels of drunkenness

The default state of a character is level 0 drunkenness (i.e. completely sober). By consuming alcohol, the character's drunkenness is raised by the potency of the drink consumed, up to the maximum of level 5 drunkenness.

• Drinking is cumulative: drinking three level 1 drinks quickly takes your character to level 3 drunkenness.
• At levels 4 and 5, the character will shout random phrases and perform random emotes (listed below).
• Every 60 seconds after consuming the first drink, the character will lose 1 level of drunkenness, i.e. "sober up."
  • This timer does not reset until the character is completely sober again — it is not affected by other drinks until the character becomes completely sober again.

Effects of drunkenness

Visual

At all drunkenness levels above level 0, the screen will be distorted and/or discolored. The exact effects depend only on the last drink consumed.

Note: Post-process effects (in the Graphics options) must be enabled to see these effects.

Quotes and emotes

• "I love you, man!"
• "I think I need to sit down."

Notes

• There are a few areas in the game were a character can get "drunk" without actually consuming any items. Unlike standard drunkenness, these effects do not wear off normally, and they do not grant any Drunkard points. These effects are triggered by:
  • Speaking with One-Eyed Rugger in Blacktide Den. The effect persists for the rest of the mission.
  • Stealing drinks during Zilo the Drunkard's drinking contest in Tihark Orchard. The effect ends when you win the contest or when the timer runs out.
  • Drinking from the ale barrels during The Great Norn Alemoot. The effect ends when you complete the quest or when the timer runs out.
• Consuming Pahnai Salad gives the screen a warping effect similar to being drunk.
• If you zone while being drunk, the drunkenness carries over to the next zone.
• If you die in town (i.e. during Mad King says) you lose all of your drunkenness.
