17, Alcohol and Learning (Possible spoiler, remove if necessary)
Posted by Uncle Bob on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
I'm not sure what the reasoning is behind being drunk and improved learning. I know when I'm drunk, all my 'sharpness' goes out the window...I would say int, wis, and dex goes down considerably. Especially after a few Jaegermeisters, followed by a...but I digress...

What is the reasoning, in CF, for this? I've experimented both ways, and I'm not sure I've noticed a huge difference, so it may be one big urban myth. Alhough I was drunk while playing a drunk, so maybe I didn't notice.

Also, remove this post if this sort of info isn't supposed to be floating about. I have a thick skin, especially after my pulitzer-prize winning drug post was removed.

Son, when you participate in sporting events, it's not whether you win or lose, it's how drunk you get.

As best I know, it's one big urban myth.

There is -never- a good reason to be sober as a bard.

As someone who perfected all the songs, I will say I
didn't notice if being drunk itself acted as boost to
to learning, say in the way a Tome of Knowledge does...
but I know it helps because you gain more mana back a tick
when you are drunk. It's the reletive equivelant to being
slowed, well not quite that nice, but better than being
sober, none-the-less.

Just my $.02
