Alcohol & It's Effects

Alcohol is often a way for people to sit down and relax, to allow themselves to get away from the troubles of life and allow them some comfort in life. This page will not only go over the various (mundane) alcoholic beverages.

## Drunkenness

Getting drunk happens in stages, as one circles the drain toward unconsciousness. Therefore, it is governed by a special condition known as drunkenness, which is measured in 10 levels. A drink can give a creature one or more levels of drunkenness, as specified in the drink’s description.

A creature immune to being poisoned can’t become drunk, and one with advantage on saving throws against being poisoned has advantage on saves against becoming drunk as well.

If an already drunk creature suffers another effect that causes drunkenness, its current level of drunkenness increases by the amount specified in the effect’s description. A creature suffers the effect of its current level of drunkenness as well as all lower levels.

An effect that removes drunkenness reduces its level as specified in the effect’s description, with all effects ending if a creature’s drunkenness level is reduced below 1.

Each hour that passes reduces a creature’s drunkenness by 1 level. Moreover, finishing a long rest drops a creature’s drunkenness to 0. If the creature’s drunkenness level was 5 or higher, they instead suffer the poisoned condition (as well as a blinding headache) for 4 hours.
Drunk Level 1 = A pleasant buzz fills your head
Drunk Level 2 = Passive Perception drops by 5
Drunk Level 3 = Coordination wanes: Disadvantage on Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution checks
Drunk Level 4 = Words slur: Disadvantage of Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma checks
Drunk Level 5 = Poor balance: Disadvantage on attack rolls and saving throws
Drunk Level 6 = Speed halved
Drunk Level 7 = Attacks against you have advantage
Drunk Level 8 = Falling over: Unless leaning against something, you fall prone at the end of your turn.
Drunk Level 9 = Vomiting: For 1 minute, you spend your action each turn retching. After this time, your drunkenness level decreases by 1.
Drunk Level 10 = Unconsciousness, until the following morning
