How does the game keep track of time drunk? - Guild Wars Forums

- Does the game keep track of the level to which your character is drunk by minutes or seconds?

- Similarly, does drinking a level one alcohol increase that counter by one minute, or by sixty seconds?

- If a character was in level five alcoholism for less than a minute and they took a drink, would the timer be pushed up to five minutes, past five minutes, or not move at all?

- If a character was in level three or four alcoholism and took a level three drink, would the timer move to five minutes, past five minutes, or go up by as many one-minute increments as possible without going over five minutes?

- If a character was in the midst of level one alcoholism and took a drink, does the timer go up by one minute or go to two minutes?

I've taken a drink, while already drunk, and seen my drunkard title increase in less than one minute after that drink was consumed. It seems that while drunk, there is a constant timer running that lowers the level of drunkeness every minute. Taking a drink doesn't affect the timer. Taking a drink increases the level of drunkeness.
Try drinking a leve 5 alcohol. Wait 30 seconds and drink another. Then see when the drunkard title is increased, 30 or 60 seconds after the second drink.
Get a clock with a second hand and experiment to find the answers to some of your questions.

Interesting questions, I would like answers to this too as I might go for my drunkard title soon, I've got 3,300 points atm but I don't wanna waste them like i have been before, forgetting to use 1 then missing out on 50 or so points for the next hour :/

As the wiki says you get 1 point for every level of drunkeness that wears off between level 3 and level 5. level 2 wearing off does not count. However, if you switch districts or map areas the drunk levels wear off faster than 1 minute on occasion. I have lost up to 3 levels from 1 map travel. Unfortunatly the only way to rack your level of drunkeness with the effects filter off is to open your title progress window and watch the points slip by. I usually chest run using drunken master to help the time go by. This usually involves a lot of map travel. My last time out in EOTN I recieved 110 points in an hour.

It keeps track by mintues...So after a minute it will be 1 point....Not after 60 seconds 60 points....and the points only count from level 5 to level 3

i'm fairly sure u cannot pass the 5 min cap by any increments of time. it would be nice however to know the exact mechanics of how the drunkenss status works.
