@reaperxaniel said in "Drinking effects" similar to how it is in Deep Rock Galactic.:
For example, in Deep Rock Galactic, you can buy a beer that completely freezes you, instantly blacks you out, or gives bonuses.
It's really not outside the realm of possibilities for Sea of Thieves to be able to buy a round of hilarious drinks for your crew at the cost of doubloons.
Except Rare's stance is to not celebrate alcoholism by inferring bonuses.
Yeah, I proposed an idea like this a while back, I'd love to see it happen cause I feel like it'd add another way to enjoy grog at different strengths or effects and make it fun, cause I know for sure I've stopped drinking grog "just because" after 2019 cause as much as I'd like to drink, I don't want to have to wait for the effects to wear off before having to literally anything. Also drinking grog at an outpost to celebrate something gets old after a minute or so because nothing else happens, no blackouts, no special effects, just motion sickness and inability to press W and go forwards. I don't see why they shouldn't add it, cause they're already promoting alcohol with grog's existence (like alcoholism is better than gambling too (looking at you, anti-card game people)), so why not make it actually interesting while we're at it.

@burnbacon Who's "comparing" Sea of Thieves to anything? Who said better? Who said worse? I'm mentioning Deep Rock Galactic because Deep Rock galactic has a mechanic most similar to what I'm talking about. I listed off how it works there as a reference point for my suggestion, not a "this is better than sea of thieves"
You know what since we're taking ideas from other games as an idea for a completely different and unique game, here's a good one:
In Blazing Sails, you have access to a bottle of... some kind of piratical alcohol, and it heals up to 50% of your HP.
What if for a Sea of Thieves' twist, you can drink a grog and while drunk it can randomly refill your HP up to 50% if fully drunk, but this comes at the cost of drunkenness, which can't be fought off as easily even with water splashes.
In PvP it could be a hilariously useless way to get more HP back if you're trying to sink a crew on bananas and fishing bait but need that extra HP to survive any attacks coming your way.
Would be funny getting in a spawncamp where a TSD is trying to double gun me while wobbling around drunk on their heels just because they ran out of bananas to eat on my boat lol
