Subject: Those Attributes Explained #2 - Drinking

And so onwards to, on the face of it, the easiest attribute to define. It has still caused its fair share of arguements though, normally on the lines of

'How come he has higher drinking than me when he chundered that time after only 6 pints blah blah blah blah blah'

The fact is, anyone who talks like that is not looking at the bigger picture. Drinking is not just a reflection of how much you can drink. In the game, the main use of the stat is to determine whether or not you 'survive' a drinking session. In other words manage to drink at the pace required. Obviously how much you can drink plays a big part in this but there are other factors as well.

1) Whether you come out for large benders regularly. If the only time you come out is for a 'quiet one down the local' then you are unlikely to score big on the drinking stakes even if you did once drink 20 pints while at college.

2) Whether you are likely to go home early or 'The James Farmer Factor'. You can drink a lot? Prove it!

3) How up you are for drinking in general. If I called you on a Frida nigth and asked you to come for a piss-up, would you come?

4) Embracing the drinking culture. Even someone with a rock bottom capacity can get points just by turning up and nursing their pint of shandy until they drop.
