FlattestGuitar Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 The drinks don't give you ethanol. They accumulate in your body and trigger different things when they pass a threshold. As far as I understand this also means you don't get more drunk from drinking two different types of alcohol, but I could be wrong there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox McCloud Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 You're quite literally asking to chug a lot without consequence. Real life has consequence if you don't modulate yourself; so does SS13. Just like in real life, if you modulate your own behavior, then things will be fine, just as in real life. Don't try to make comparison between units and actual measurements; there's zero consistency and it's literally impossible to do so. This reminds me of when ODing was first added and people refused to pay attention to OD thresholds and ended up killing patients---only this time it's people refusing to modulate their own behavior. Facts: - you drink 10 units from a glass at a time (5 from a beer bottle/flask) - You can chug 25 units of a single alcohol type and never slur once. Exceptions are absinthe, neurotoxin, suicider, and gin+sonic (and if you're asking for the latter and expecting to not get absolutely smashed then that's on you; those are designed to get you drunk quickly). - It takes a mere 50 seconds for a single gulp (of 10 units) to fully deplete from your system, then you can drink 10 more and not suffer any ill effects - Drinking a single beer from a bottle won't get you smashed; you'll start slurring a very tiny bit during the very end and it'll wear off super quickly (well before you return to work) - You don't take liver damage until you've drank over 130 units of a single alcohol type (the pass out threshold). - Multiple unique alcohols stack together, meaning a 50/50 mix of whiskey+vodka is going to get you drunk twice as quickly as just straight whiskey If you don't want to get smashed, then moderate your own drinking behavior--it's not that hard, especially if you're actually talking with someone in the bar instead of chugging drink after drink after drink. Think of it another way; getting drunk is like an OD threshold for alcohol; most OD thresholds around around 15-30; it just so happens that most alcohol's OD thresholds are around ~25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
