How the drunk system works:
Basically 1 drink = 1 minute drunk, and you need at least 3 drinks in you to be considered drunk. You can only have 5 drinks in you maximum at a time. There are 3 levels of drunk. Each level of drunk takes 1 minute to wear off and give credit for 1 minute of drunk.
So, if you chug 3 ales, you get 1 minute drunk. If you chug 5 ales, you get 3 minutes drunk. After 3 minutes are up, you can chug 3 more and get 3 more minutes drunk because the very first 2 drinks (that don't count as being drunk) never wore off.
How the drunk timer works:
As soon as you drink an ale, if you are drunk, the timer for a minute of drunkeness begins.
Here's a scenario:
- You chug 3 ales and are drunk (lvl 1).
- 30 second mark, you decide to drink another ale.
- This means you reach drunk (lvl 2), and the timer for drunkenness resets.
- 1 minute mark, no drunk credit. Remember timer was reset
- 1.5 minute mark, 1 minute drunk credit
- You will go down to drunk (lvl 1).
- 2.5 minute mark, you will get credit for being drunk 2 minutes.
- You will not be drunk, but still have 2 drinks in you (I guess buzzed state).
So because of that 30 seconds you waited to drink the fourth ale, it took 2.5 minutes of real time to get credit for 2 minutes of drunk. This means you should drink as soon as credit shows up on Title track; don't wait or it'll take longer to get credit.
What works and doesn't:
Works - Dwarven Ale, Hunter's Ale, Egg Nog, Spiked Egg Nog (thanks for confirming spiked, Amok)
Doesn't - Witches Brew, Absinthe
Want proof I know what I'm talking about?
I didn't show it in the pic, but there is a second level. It's Incorrigible Ale-Hound - 10,000 minutes. Yes, that's right...Ten Thousand Minutes!
That's 6 days, 22 hours, and 40 minutes. That's over 40 stacks of 250 ales and 2 Million Gold.
Now get to drinkin!
