Drunkenness

Drunkenness (or Tipsiness, Inebriety, or Temulency) is a measure of how drunk you are. As opposed to fullness and spleen, you are allowed to become drunk beyond the limit allowed for adventuring, which is, by default, 14. When this occurs, you become "falling-down drunk" and will only encounter Drunken Stupor adventures instead of normal adventures in most zones. Drunkenness is reset to zero each day at rollover, and upon Ascension.

Most Drunkenness comes from booze, but you can also gain drunkenness from adventures in:

• The Orcish Frat House (while disguised)
• Barrrney's Barrr (from choice adventures which make it avoidable)
• Noob Cave (Bad Moon only)
• A Barroom Brawl (Bad Moon only)

Or from using:

• Yummy Tummy beans
• Dungeons of Doom potions
• 668 scrolls
• ice steins
• multi-coloured drunki-bears

Players who are on the Teetotaler or Oxygenarian paths cannot contract drunkenness by any means.

Messages

When you are within 5 drunkenness of your current limit, your character pane (in full mode but not compact mode) will display the message:

You'd better keep an eye on your drinking.

When you have met or exceeded your current drunkenness limit, your character pane (in full mode) will display the message:

You are falling-down drunk.

Whenever your drunkenness is enough for a message about your drunkenness to be displayed in your character pane, your messages in chat will also occasionally be followed by "-hic-".

If you attempt to drink more booze while falling-down drunk, you instead receive the message:

You're way too drunk already.

Things affected by Drunkenness

• Antihangover increases Muscle, Mysticality, and Moxie by yesterday's drunkenness.
• Count Drunkula and Count Drunkula (Hard Mode) require a high level of drunkenness to fight effectively.
• The Little Chickadee trophy requires visiting the Trophy Hut while having 1000+ drunkenness.
• Pool Skill is increased by 1 each for your first 10 points of drunkenness, and then decreased by 2 for each point of drunkenness afterwards.
• Way of the Surprising Fist's Drunken Baby Style becomes more damaging at higher drunkenness.

Notes

• There are leaderboards in the Museum for the drunkest player, and for the most hungover player (who was the drunkest player yesterday).
• Since most drunkenness is gained while gaining adventures, it is standard strategy to become falling-down drunk at the end of every day and let the gained adventures roll over as the drunkenness is removed.
• It is commonly believed that Drunkenness increases the chance of a player fumbling, however this is not the case.
• Having Drunkula's wineglass from the Dreadsylvania clan dungeon equipped allows adventuring "normally" while falling-down drunk. The negatives the wine glass has, including preventing the use of spells and combat items, make these adventures somewhat abnormal.
• In paths that have a higher liver capacity (namely, Avatar of Sneaky Pete and License to Adventure), you can drink to that capacity before breaking the prism, and your drunkenness will be set to your new capacity afterwards. However, if you are overdrunk before breaking the prism, you will still be overdrunk after.
