{{otheruses|the game mechanic of intoxication|the [[title]] acquired by consuming [[alcohol]]|Drunkard}}

A player becomes [[drunk]] by consuming [[alcohol]]. This in-game intoxication is visually obvious: drunken characters will begin to act irrationally, randomly [[emote|emoting]] and spewing various quotations. In addition, players will see their own display become warped and blurry (and certain alcohol will also change the screen color).

==Intoxication mechanics==
Intoxication works on a 5-tier system: each alcoholic drink in the game has its own intoxication level; consuming a drink will raise the character's current level of drunkenness by the amount that drink represents. For example, consuming a [[Hunter's Ale]] will raise your drunkenness by 1 tier; consuming a [[Spiked Eggnog]] will raise it by 5 tiers. The higher the level of drunkenness a character is at, the more pronounced the blurry-screen effect becomes.

One minute after a drink has been consumed, the character will begin to "recover" and will lose one level of drunkenness. Note, however, that a character is not considered officially "intoxicated" until they are at level 3 -- at levels 1 and 2, they will not emote. Once a character reaches level 5, they are at the maximum tier of drunkenness and consuming further drinks will have no effect.

[[Death]] and [[zone|zoning]] do not affect your drunken level. Should you die or zone, your level of drunkenness will continue to progress as normal. Upon [[resurrection]], drunken visual effects may disappear until your drunkenness level changes.

===Screen color effects===
{{section-stub}}
[[File:NecroAbsinthe.jpg|right|Absinthe's green tint|thumb]]
Certain types of alcohol alter the coloring of the post process effect; the particular tint is determined by which drink was consumed last and the effect might become stronger as you drink more of the same beverage.

==Skills affected by intoxication==
Activate these [[Player versus Environment|PvE]] [[skill]]s while drunk to trigger conditional [[effect]]s (level 1 intoxication is sufficient):
{{Skill table
| titlematch = Drunken Master¦Dwarven Stability¦Feel No Pain
| show attribute = y
| show campaign = y
| show profession = y
}}

==Notes==
*Players can uncheck "Enable post process effects" to remove the drunk visuals at the Graphics tab in the [[Options|options panel]].
*Random kneeling from drunkenness while near a [[statue]] will summon the associated [[avatar]] if any.

==Trivia==
*Until the [[Feedback:Game updates/20110303|March 3, 2011 update]], characters had to spend 10,000 minutes (almost 167 hours) being drunk in order to obtain the [[Drunkard]] title. The title track would progress by one point for every elapsed minute spent drunk.
