12 advs, 28 Beefiness--Fakestreet2 21:53, 6 June 2006 (CDT)

10 adv, 27 Smarm - 14 adv, 27 Smarm - 13 adv, 27 Cheek --GH Moose 22:18, 6 June 2006 (CDT)

Classes everyone? Something tells me it gives you your main substat. --Pastamancer5 22:36, 6 June 2006 (CDT)

  • Sauceror here. So nope, it's not your base skill. --DarkSir 22:38, 6 June 2006 (CDT)
    • Perhaps it boosts one's secondary stat? --Quietust 23:55, 6 June 2006 (CDT)
      • Nope, I'm a Disco Bandit, and I got my main stat.

Nope. I just drank one and got 30 Fortitude, and I'm a Turtle Tamer. Maybe it's just random, then?--Zapmaster 23:58, 6 June 2006 (CDT)

10 adv, 26 strongness / 10 adv, 29 strongness (Acc Thf). -- Old Ned 01:24, 7 June 2006 (CDT)

11 adventures, 28 smarm as a Turtle Tamer. I think it's just random. - --Mulvaney 05:13, 7 June 2006 (CDT)

  • 12 Adventures, 30 Muscleboundness, 4 Drunkenness. Pastamancer. Probably just random. --Gothhenge 06:17, 7 June 2006 (CDT)
  • Didnt get exact numbers, but 5 around the worlds on a Seal Clubber, all gave muscle. 1 on an Accordion Thief gave moxie.... check that, I just got Strongness from the second drink on the Accordion Thief. Bender 16:38, 7 June 2006 (EDT)

Just drank Around The World, got 11 adv, 24 wizardliness, 4 drunkeness. Disco Bandit class. --boil_and_serve

Of COURSE it's random... didn't you read the discription? Random drinks=Random stats. --Kookoo275 23:03, 9 June 2006 (CDT)

While random stats seems probable, I've got an alternate theory - lowest stat. Anyone care to provide a counter case? (because i still mostly think it's random) Teffania

Quest Item still?

Is this still a quest item? Like if you ascend, will it disappear? --Macoronikevin 06:16, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

  • no, no. --Evilkolbot 12:20, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

  • all the new items are quest items: what good is that? --Evilkolbot 06:14, 7 June 2006 (CDT)
    • probably so they disapear from your inventory if you don't use them at ascension. (Oxycore can't drink, sell, trade, or keep it after ascension)--Twopeak 15:17, 7 June 2006 (CDT)
    • what good are shiny things if not only can you not show them to anybody, they also evaporate if you're not careful. and, even if you drink one you can't show anybody. meh and triple meh. --Evilkolbot 16:40, 7 June 2006 (CDT)
  • Has anyone tried drinking 80 of them???
  • Guess I should have thought about this beforehand... I can't get this trophy in this ascension because I blew the Frat House back to the Stone Age during the war in level 12. Dang it. --duckyguy 08:59, 17 June 2007 (PST)
  • Actually, although you probably know by now, it being almost a year later, but you can get the "Me Just Wanna Fly" adventure, at the Frat house, bombed back to the stone age. So it is possible, just takes way higher stats to get the adventure without the monsters handing your head to you in the meantime. --Jimfromtx 21:37, 13 May 2008 (CDT)
    • Well, as shown here the update so that you can complete the spanish fly quest came after duckyguy's question. --CG1:t,c,e 21:46, 13 May 2008 (CDT)

Notes

  • "This is the second drinkable booze that is a Quest Item." Well, fine, but what's the first one?! Incomplete notes & references are quite frustrating. -- Old Ned 04:24, 8 June 2006 (CDT)

Trophy

I have drank over 80 of these....no trophy --Lobotomy the Meak 04:09, 23 June 2006 (CDT)

  • in the same ascension? --Evilkolbot 11:40, 17 July 2007 (CDT)

Reference?

The description states "when you spilled a little on the floor, it ate through the wood" - for some reason, I am reminded of Grog from the Monkey Island series, a tasty drink enjoyed by pirates but highly corrosive (to the point that it can eat through pewter mugs and open locks on prison doors). Coincidence? --Quietust (t|c) 16:29, 17 July 2007 (CDT)

  • since jick's often spoken approvingly of Monkey Island, i guess it could be. booze being strong enough to eat through stuff isn't exactly rare, though. --Evilkolbot 11:54, 18 July 2007 (CDT)

Should it also be noted on the page that this is another booze item with a euphemism for a name? --Shoptroll 00:40, 21 October 2007 (CDT)

  • How is this a euphemism? I don't think it's another name for the horizontal tango, etc... --Jimfromtx 21:49, 13 May 2008 (CDT)
    • urbandictionary it. it is a sexual reference, but not exactly a euphemism, since it names an act or raather series of acts itself. if someone can think of a clean way of referencing this perhaps it can go in. --Evilkolbot 00:36, 14 May 2008 (CDT)
      • I'd wager at least 90% of the terms on urbandictionary have at least one entry with a sexual connotation to it. Hell, I can make research-level mathematics terms sexual (if I wanted to). I don't think we need to go around mentioning how the entirety of humanity (or at least the english speaking parts of it) are a bunch of language-mangling perverts all over the place. Now if Jick and Co. say they were specifically thinking of that, then sure, add it in. I won't be surprised if they were, but I don't think it's warranted to assume so here. --Flargen 00:53, 14 May 2008 (CDT)
        • On further thought, I'll give a little more credit to the validity of this claim, given the story behind this item's acquisition. Damn crazy fratboys. --Flargen 00:58, 14 May 2008 (CDT)
