Drinks

— Father Vandyke to Milo and Lola

**Drinks** are a main gameplay mechanic in *Afterparty*. Hell is known for its special type of drinks known as **Hellcohol**, which is said to "unshackle" its drinkers from their "previous concerns of societal appropriateness." Throughout the game, Milo and Lola can discover and drink many types of beverages across Hell's several bars, which normally hold a selection of four each. Each drink has a designated effect and a short description including some of its ingredients, and most locations have three possible Bicker posts each which can be shown as the bartender mixes the drink.

Based on their effects, drinks will unlock different dialogue options that can open up new paths in conversation, both compared to sober options and each other. Lola will always drink if Milo does and vice versa, stated by the former to ensure they "can't lie to each other about how drunk [they're] getting."

### Other

#### Vodka

While at the fake college mixer at the start of the game, Milo and Lola can take solo cups filled with "two dollar vodka mixed with three dollar lemonade" from Vicki, who was assigned to be the party's bartender after pulling the short straw. This is the only point in the game in which "normal" alcohol can be consumed.

#### Brass Bull

As Milo and Lola sit with Tommy Tulaney at his birthday party, Tommy orders a round of three Brass Bulls from Father Vandyke in order to demonstrate the mechanics of how drinking works in Hell. The drink reappears as the choice of drink for the "ladder" drinking games with (optionally) Greg, Apollyon, and Satan.

#### Permanent Vacation

While at Club Skoll, Asmodeus orders two shots of Permanent Vacation and offers to take one with Lola, which she can either refuse or be convinced by Milo to take. The drink causes Lola to become intensely relaxed and creates a ring of constantly regenerating pink flower petals over her head. It is the only drink in the game to have a visual effect on the drinker.

#### Unapologetic

While at Club Skoll, Asmodeus has Milo drink his own "personal cocktail" in front of a crowd, the Unapologetic. The drink causes Milo to throw up his Conscience - a smaller, bright green version of himself - causing him to become a sociopath for the duration of their separation.

## Trivia

* Prior to playing beer pong with Satan towards the end of the game, Satan's bartender offers the player a selection of 14 different drinks. The selection includes two drinks from each bar with the exception of Little Rantalia's courtroom, whose drinks are not included.
	+ The drinks available to the player prior to playing beer pong with Satan are: Bloody Stool, Famous Last Words, Bang Bang, Ling Chi, Jeffrey Bomber, The Black Death, Blue Devil, Grand Exhibitionist, Bluebeard's Last Wife, Literally Acid, Headless Groom, Tommy Gun, Global Extinction, and The Great Fall.
	+ Of these, The Great Emathian, Pear of Anguish, Giganticide, Frightening Visitor, Student of Prague, Woland's Margarita, Hoard and Squander, Hearse Chaser, Morning Murdrum, Double Talk, Rabbit's Head, Look Out Behind You, Red Parrilla, Hydrophobia, Unmarked Grave, Judas Chair, and Forgotten Gospel are absent.
* Although at least one test build of the game allowed the player to drink an unlimited amount from their glasses, this was ultimately decided against in order to push players to use different types of drinks.
* The only drink selection screen in which the player is allowed to move is the one prompted by Nectarian in Little Rantalia's courtroom. The courtroom is also the only location where a unique drink selection screen is offered without a bar or serving table, and does not offer the usual accompanying Bicker posts as a result.
* The only established characters with known drink reviews are Lynda Landon, who has a review for The Great Fall, and Fela, who has reviews for the Ling Chi and Tommy Gun .
