Talk:Ice stein

Teetotaler

heard talk it can be used as a teetotaler. confirmation? although its probably just an oversight on jick's part. --Shokwave 08:26, 2 June 2006 (CDT)

• Don't know about hardcore/teetotaler usage, but it certainly can't be used when already drunk. Man, I was hoping you could get around the drunkenness limitation this way... --Allanc 09:14, 2 June 2006 (CDT)
• I was the one who put that note in, but it was taken out. I'm currently on the Teetotaler path and was able to use the ice stein. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by Venger (talk • contribs) at 22:29, 2 June 2006 (CDT).
• Just wasted about 70 adventures to finally get my hands on a 6-pack in HCT, tried to use the Ice Stein, but got the "You can't drink booze" message. Either it never has worked, or they fixed it. --Kirbyllama 18:34, 4 June 2006 (CDT)

References

I really don't see how sounding like Einstein or Ice nine is a reference to anything. especially since there seems to be very little relevence to these references. -- Gouku 18:32, 4 June 2006 (CDT)

• It also sounds like "Rice wine" "Mice sign" "Lice tine"...get the idea? Rhyming does not a reference make, so I took out the Vonnegut reference. Although that is one of my favorite books by him. But it has no place in the references section. --J12601 13:42, 3 November 2006 (CST)

In need of content?

You can't really get more specific about the drop locations on this...It appears that it's just an item in a list of potential drops for the Violet Fog adventure. If you elect to "take the fish," then you receive one of the items. --Mikimis 22:35, 5 June 2006 (CDT)

• Which item you will receive can be determined by reading the adventure text. This is the "something alcohol-related". --Emtu 11:21, 3 March 2007 (CST)

Ode to Booze

I tried using the stein with the ode, and I only got 12 turns. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by James chen0 (talk • contribs) at 13:59, 21 July 2006 (CDT).

• Works with Ode to Booze - I got 16 adventures using it with ode today. NateTG 17:23, 25 November 2006 (CST)

Having Ode to Booze in my head: You pull a beer from your six-pack, open it, pour it into the stein, and chug it down. Mmm, frosty! You repeat the process with the second can, then the third... fifth... eighth? By the time the stein has melted away, you've totally lost count of how many beers you drank.

You gain 16 Adventures.

You gain 36 Muscularity Points.

You gain 6 Drunkenness.

Shrugged off Ode to Booze: You pull a beer from your six-pack, open it, pour it into the stein, and chug it down. Mmm, frosty! You repeat the process with the second can, then the third... fifth... eighth? By the time the stein has melted away, you've totally lost count of how many beers you drank.

You gain 12 Adventures.

You gain 38 Muscularity Points.

You gain 6 Drunkenness.

Either it's random, or Ode works. Not trying again, because I'd overdrink. Maybe I'll try later.VDZ 02:44, 3 March 2007 (CST)

• Well, that didn't take long. I finished adventuring (kinda), and used another ice stein. 12 adventures, 34 muscularity points without Ode.VDZ 02:53, 3 March 2007 (CST)

Well, I just used an Ice stein as my final drink, with Ode going. I'm under Mongoose, so no effect there. I did get 16 adv, as well as 32 MP. I think it has been proven here and elsewhere that Ode does add 4 adv to the Ice stein.--Terion 22:04, 30 March 2007 (CDT)

I get 16 adventures too, with ode to booze. Do we need another proof? --Ananymous 21:38, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

You responded to something well over 2 years old. The main page clearly says that Ode did not originally have an effect... but that has not been the case for over two years now. --Lordebon 21:52, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Spading!

Drinking 30 or so Ice Steins gave an MP range of 31-43. More numbers forthcoming after my liver stops weeping. I'm assuming the range is actually 30-45ish. --TechSmurf 23:26, 16 April 2008 (CDT)

New spading! Just drank 3 ice steins. Had 10 turns of Ode to Booze and 1 turn of Salty Mouth for the first one, got 22 adventures and 40 MP. Lost Salty Mouth but not Ode. The next two, got 16 adventures both times, 36 MP then 39 MP, and never lost any turns of Ode. I wonder if the interaction between the Stein and Ode is hard-coded since the Stein itself isn't actually booze? --Johnny Treehugger 15:50, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
