Drunkenness

From TheKolWiki

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. 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.

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

• The Typical Tavern (post quest)
• the Orcish Frat House (while disguised)
• Barrrney's Barrr
• Noob Cave (Bad Moon only)

or from using:

• Yummy Tummy beans
• Dungeons of Doom potions
• 668 scrolls
• ice steins

Players who are on the Teetotaler or Oxygenarian paths cannot encounter those adventures or get the Drunkenness-inducing effects from those items.

Normally, players become too drunk to adventure at 15 Drunkenness. Players with a Liver of Steel become too drunk at 20. Drinking green beer on St. Sneaky Pete's Day enables you to drink to an additional 10 drunkenness and, if you get to 26 or more drunkenness, gives you special adventures.

Note that using a spice melange restores three points of drunkenness, as well as three points of fullness.

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 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.

Falling-Down Drunk

While falling-down drunk, in addition to not being able to encounter normal adventures, you also cannot:

• start PvP fights
• train your familiars at The Cake-Shaped Arena
• go on trips at The Shore, Inc
• become Half-Astral
• free King Ralph XI
• fish in the Sewer
• Adventure in Fernswarthy's Basement
• Adventure in the Daily Dungeon
• Mine in Itznotyerzitz Mine
• Attempt one of your guild leader's challenges
• Gamble at the Casino
• Smash barrels in The Barrel full of Barrels
• Gaze into an empty agua de vida bottle
• drink any more!

While you cannot adventure normally while falling-down drunk, there are several ways you can still use adventures:

• You can exercise your stats or rest in the Clan Rumpus Room.
• You can raise stats at The Gym, The Institute for Canadian Studies, or Gnirf, the World's Sneakiest Gnome, depending on your moon sign.
• You can cook and make cocktails. Note that this still doesn't use adventures if you have a Chef-in-the-box or Bartender-in-the-box, respectively.
• If you have access to it, you can kick food up a notch with The Wok of Ages. BAM!
• You can smith items or make jewelry.
• You can go trick-or-treating on Halloween.
• You can rest at The Campground.
• You may still randomly encounter monsters on El Dia de Los Muertos Borrachos and Feast of Boris.
• You can play the Money Making Game in the Casino when falling down drunk as well since it does not require you to use an adventure.
• You can adventure at The 3 Gates, The Huge Mirror, and A Perplexing Door during the Naughty Sorceress Quest.
• You used to be able to go stargazing at The LAAAAME Observatory, before it was destroyed by The Comet.
• You can operate the machinery in the Dwarven Machine Room.
• You can summon demons at Summoning Chamber.

You can also enter into combat by using certain items:

• You can use Cap'm Caronch's Map to encounter a booty crab.
• You can use a drum machine to fight a giant sandworm.
• You can use cursed pieces of thirteen to fight scary pirates.
• You can fight a black pudding, if attempting to eat one results in a fight.
• You can use a Spooky Putty monster or shaking 4-d camera.
• Seal Clubbers can summon and fight Infernal Seals. This does not consume an adventure, but can only be done five times a day.

Notes

• There are leaderboards in The Hall of Records 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.
• Drunkenness is compared in PvP in the Hangover mini-game.
• Going to the Trophy Hut with 1000 or more drunkenness allows one to purchase the Little Chickadee trophy.
• It is commonly believed that Drunkenness increases the chance of a player fumbling, however this is not the case.
