I think it'd be pretty nice to see a label next to alcohol, sweets, and party items...telling you how many points/minutes they contribute toward their title track. Sweets and party items could just have an annotation saying " * party/sweet points ". Alcohol could display a strength as a number of 1-5. Heck, they all could just have a number next to the item name in red print or something. I would think that this is pretty easy to code in to the game too.

I dunno, it would certainly help me when I merchant...instead of me having to look up how many points an item is...it would be right there on the item.

Fast answer would be - wiki it , sadly it could be said that in total theres maybne 30 items in total and if anet had to spend time and manpower recoding it would mean extra work for them - coding then adding in each language , numerous tea breaks , time having a chat and maybe after a few months they may finally finish it.
Like i said most will wiki it and get more info than out of extra text that says 1 min of drunk - also remember that even tho anet labels skills there are still players ( often anets bad wording ) who get descriptions confused or misunderstood.
BTW why the hell do you merchant party/sweet/alco items ?

I think he means "merchant" in the context of buy/resell ;p

On topic, having text that indicates sweet/drunk points would be somewhat immersion-breaking....

If you focus on maxing your 'consumable titles', you probably already remember values on everything out there.
If you focus on powertrading (or just trading) those items, you probably already remember values on everything out there, including their mid market prices, when to buy, when and where to sell.
If you start getting into trading them, you probably want to learn all the values as fast as possible.
If you just occassionally sell stuff you farm during seasonal festivals, having to look up the wiki won't hurt you much and it will keep the immersion-breaking (i liked that :3) at bay.

It can be a nice little addition, but really, it's not that hard to remember how many points each gives.
And at least I can buy some party points cheaper because a lot of people tend to forget the amount of points mysterious tonics give you (it's not scamming, since they are the one selling it at a low price).
