Intoxication Rules

 

(Image by Matt Rhodes)

Every two drinks trigger a Con save; DC depends on strength of the booze:

Beers, ales and meads: DC 12, the DC increases by 1 for every two drinks

Wines: DC 14, the DC increases by 1 for every two drinks

Spirits, etc.: DC 16, the DC increases by 1 for every two drinks

*Every failed save adds a level of drunkenness.
