its not free, its exactly the duration of ur drink ^^

like, drink a spiked eggnog, go thru portal/zone somewhere, upon leaving the area you receive the full duration of the drunkness thats left from ur drink

or i think it works this way

Huh, interesting. What about drinks that don't get you drunk with one shot? Like Hunter's Ales, which require three or four to get a real solid buzz going?

For what it's worth, I appreciate this "feature" or "glitch" or whatever, simply because it feels so wasteful to drink a spiked egg nog and then have to go somewhere. I've told my party to wait because I'm drunk and I want it to wear off before we enter the mission.

Can someone please post from beginning to end how this theory works.. thanks!

Strange, I tried the trick but it didnt quite work. I still had to wait for the actual time to pass to get the minutes added on my title, just the effects dissapeared when I zoned.

Has anyone been drunk in-game while being drunk irl? If so, are the blur effects multiplied, or are they unchanged?

I haven't tried it yet, but you know, that's a REALLY good idea!

Guild Wars: Check.
Spiked Egg Nogg: Check.
Mad Dog 20/20: Check.

Bring on the blurs!!

Not worth the title if u havent really done it, seems like u should enjoy a drink

I'd tend to agree. It's like people going for the "Survivor" title who stay away and have their friends powerlevel them. That's more like a "watching TV" title.

I'm 250-ish minutes into Drunkard and having a blast. My friends all see me drinking and they're sure to give me a hard time about my habit. On vent, it's all "Seek therapy, Ghull!" and "Get help, Ghull!" I tell them to mind their own *hic* business.

Kinda like Eyo, a guildie of mine.. I really do not believe that we have done a single warren run without his character belting out "everyone stop shouting" and "oh no, not again" every 6 seconds.

Uhh...one way to split stacks is to buy some ale, store in storage, and then buy some more. Afterwards take them out and put them in different slots.

The zoning trick seems nice. Lowers the time for the title greatly. Gotta try that out some time.

1) Buy Spiked Eggnog

2) Drink Spiked Eggnog

3) Zone out of town

There you go.

the glitch/bug/feature is that when you zone, you are automatically given credit for any drunken time you have stacked on you. So instead of having to wait out the time to get the title credit - just zone and get it right after drinking.

Alias_X · Jun 23, 2006, 04:28 PM // 16:28

Yes, but if you drink 3 to get drunk, then zone, you only get credit for 1 minute, not 3 minutes...

Yep thats exactly what happened to me!

Just out of curiosity what are the titles at the various percentages? (If it works like that for the drinking title)

_,.-+=’* ♥ Aurelio Furor [AUR] ♥ *’=+-.,_
Ariana Of Damia (Mo/Rt) ♥ Electra Of Damia (W/Mo) ♥ Lexa Of Damia (E/Mo)
Lily Of Damia (R/Mo) ♥ Mia Of Damia (Me/Mo) ♥ Zarina Of Damia (N/Mo)

Darth Marth · Jun 24, 2006, 12:04 AM // 00:04

Cool trick. The only question now is how to afford several thousand beers for the title.

1000 minutes - Drunkard (1)
10000 minutes - Incorrigible Ale-Hound (2)
