Guide to Drinks

Drink Recipes
Though many of these drinks have toxic ingredients, the finished products are not necessarily toxic. However, if incorrectly (or maliciously) mixed, you might poison your patrons.

If an ingredient is listed as a catalyst, that means it will not be used up by the reaction, and must be removed at the end.

Since a drinking glass will hold only 30 units of liquid, it's recommended that bartenders use their drink shakers to mix these drinks before pouring them out into glasses.

Alcoholic Drinks
Alcoholic drinks contain ethanol, the type of alcohol that gets humans drunk. Each alcoholic drink has a strength value that determines how quickly it will affect the person drinking it. Depending on how much you drink, you may start slurring your speech, get dizzy, start stumbling around, or even pass out. Drinking slowly will allow your body to metabolize alcohol and prevent some of these effects, but it can take a long time to metabolize high amounts of alcohol.

Some species have special reactions to alcohol:
 * Skrell will always treat any alcohol as extremely strong and can get very drunk, very quickly.
 * Unathi and Vaurca cannot properly metabolize ethanol, and consuming it will poison them as it is metabolized.
 * Humans take liver damage from drinking too much. This damage occurs at around the same level of intoxication where the character passes out.
 * Diona cannot get drunk.

Butanol-Based Drinks
Unathi drinks are based on butanol. Butanol will intoxicate Unathi; non-Unathi feel very little effect.

Toothpaste-Based Drinks
Vaurca can get drunk on alcohol, but it will also poison them. Non-toxic strong drinks for Vaurca are based on toothpaste.

Non-Alcoholic Drinks
These drinks don't contain alcohol, butanol, or toothpaste. Most increase hydration.

Note that "non-alcoholic" doesn't always mean the drink has no effect!

Tea
Tea is harmless to most species, but poisonous to Diona.

Coffee
For non-Diona, coffee increases running speed slightly and reduces drowsiness, dizziness, sleepiness, and intoxication. Diona feel no effect.

If you drink an extreme amount of coffee, it will make you jittery.

Drink Ingredients
Most drink ingredients are found in the bar's soft drinks, booze, or coffee dispensers, or in the Booze-o-Matic. Other ingredients must be sourced from Botany, the kitchen, the pharmacy, or the warehouse.

Flavor Syrups
Used as ingredients or to add flavor to a drink, syrups are based on heated sugar water. Use the chemical heater in the back of the bar to make these.
