Hi, I've been looking around all the wikis soaking up what I can about the game! So I ran into the cooking wiki, and it mentioned a brewer profession, and if I understand correctly, they didn't quite know what to do with it in terms of what unique effects to come up with compared to cooking.
I really enjoyed the fun silly drinking mechanic in WoW, where you get a status effect of a blurred screen and stumbling around, etc. If it isn't already a mechanic, I think this would be a fun silly one to add - I wanted to run a dungeon while drunk in WoW but never played it that much.
Maybe they could add different effects from different drinks, like a drunk effect, or some fantasy inspired effects like turning you into a toad briefly. This could be really fun in taverns and in a social setting and because of the silly one time use of the drinks it could be a way for a tavern owner to generate some more income or attract more business.
I'm sorry if this idea is a repeat, I tried googling anything on drinking or being drunk and didn't receive any results. If this is a popular suggestion, maybe suggest what drink effects you'd like to see below? I'm really hoping to see a lot of social activities in the game.
