Guest Author’s Note: “Drinking is one of those things that occasionally goes with RPGs. It’s not like junk food, or soda in that it doesn’t feel ubiquitous with the game, but most of the adults I know who play RPGs enjoy a brew or two during the process. I mean, it is popular enough that there are bars that base themselves around RPGs. As for why, sometimes it’s just because it’s part of the social atmosphere, sometimes, it’s because the player doesn’t feel quite as comfortable playing their role without a little liquid courage. And sometimes, as with my group once in a blue moon, it’s because the games are waaaaaaay funnier with one or two completely blitzed players and the rest trying to wrangle them. The days we feel like doing that are the ones where I bring out the one shots.
