Alcohol

>Though very specific to white people who were going through an awkward phase in 1995 (basically anyone between eleven and forty), My So-Called Life’s resonance cannot be overstated. Simply say the words Jordan Catalano. Say them to any white woman, gay white male, or superconfident-in-his-sexuality, irony-loving straight white male, and watch them swoon. You seriously do not even need an explanation about the show. Actually, if someone asks your name, you should say it’s Jordan Catalano and that you’ve never heard of the show. You will be the hit of the party, provided you let everyone in on the joke by the middle of the evening. Otherwise you will probably be known as a self-centered, dyslexic jerk.
I am white, what the fuck is this?

Beer is a creature comfort; it makes people more sociable. That really helps a roleplaying group as long as they don't get fall-down drunk.

>Founders
my african brother

It's New Holland brewing, not Founders.

>Black Angel sour beer

I regularly bring a few sixers of homebrew when I'm gaming in person. Of course, I can't seem to make anything below 10% abv and have about 30lbs on everyone in my group, so I always end up the only one sober.

No, because underage drinking is no allowed.

Oh, damn it. Brain said "Michigan" and I didn't fact-check.

>but he posts on Veeky Forums

DIPAs and RISes? Nice.

>Does your group drink alcoholic beverages during the game?
Yes, but only if someone else also drinks.
Just a couple of weeks ago I tried my hand at DMing. The players refused to stop at the end of the session, and one had the clever idea to do a beer run to keep me placated as we ran a second one back to back.

>Do your PCs have favorite drinks that they always order?
No, but that's because the only campaign I've played in in the last couple of years didn't have a tavern scene or equivalent. The PCs taste probably wouldn't come up even if there was one.

>The one highschooler in the group thinks we're alcoholics,
It's hilarious how intelligent and observant high school kids THINK they are when the vast majority of them have next to no idea of what real life is actually like outside of high school due to high school not really preparing you for adulthood at all and is collectively sheltering them from the concept that actions have consequences.

That would be why most of them have lousy initial collate grades and go WAY into debt at first.

I can't drink or be around drunk people. Just... No.

>and go WAY into debt at first.
No, that's because the cost of post secondary education has been rising faster than inflation and minimum wage for decades.

I have. Its some good shit. I usually stick with local porters and stouts. Sometimes a rum and coke.

>Minimum age to post on Veeky Forums: 18
>Minimum drinking age in US: 21

I drink the fruitiest thing at the table, sipping on infusions when even the girls are going for Jameson. Hell, I usually play a bard too. Fuck it, I'm happy. You gotta own whatever you got, gents.

Nothing wrong with fruity drinks. Theyre fucking delicious. Especially during the summer

Sangria is awesome and angry conquistadors burned and raped entire civilizations while drinking it.

That you Dan?

My group moved from our (Notso)FLGS to a craft meadery that opened up in town a few years ago.
The meadery was joined by a craft brewery AND distillery.
Now, the group has 2-4 bottles of mead every game, on top of the 1-3 beers I have myself and the 1-2 mixed drinks that half the group (including myself) usually gets.
We get good, but half the group drives, so they can't get too sauced.

I've been having a hell of a time getting my hands on 8th Sin around here, which has been pissing me and my buddies off.

As for alcohol and tabletop, depends on the situation. For board games, yes, almost everyone at the table is drinking. For our D&D sessions though, most anyone normally has is a beer or rarely two over the course of several hours. Two pots of coffee are typically consumed instead.

You could go for the Rainhard Nosbeeratu instead.

I've always wanted to try brewing my own mead but I have no idea where to start

Local guys I sit with say 5lbs of honey, 5 gallons of water, add activated yeast, let sit for several weeks.
It's not high quality, but mead is actually incredibly simple.

I once gave the dwarf paladin a chest filled with expensive liquor. It included a type of wine made by not!-Italians by running ice cold river water over the barrels, a magical dwarven bottle that actually carried more liquor than was actually possible because magic, some good whiskeys, and a couple of deep mountain fungus spirits.
I never got around to dictating everything in it, but it was an extensive amount of booze.

Most of my characters are near alcoholic.

We had an alcoholic player at one point. He was fucking annoying.

I once tried DMing after half a bottle of vodka. It was really hard to concentrate, and I ended up falling asleep half-way through the session.

In general, I don't think alcohol improves role playing at all.

>In general, I don't think alcohol improves role playing at all.
Getting drunk doesn't help, user, and your whole "DMing after half a fifth of vodka" story just makes you look like an idiot.
A few drinks among friends is perfectly fine.

We usually have a bear or two when we're gaming. Toughens you up.

Fucking love dragon's milk

Yesh, indeed.
