Guide to Drinks

Drink Recipes
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 inflict them with toxin damage as it is metabolized. There are some Unathi-safe alcoholic drinks that are butanol-based, rather than ethanol-based.
 * Humans will take liver damage from drinking too much. This damage occurs at around the same level of intoxication where the character passes out.

Mixed Drinks
While many of these drinks have toxic ingredients, the finished products are not toxic in and of themselves. However, this means that if incorrectly (or maliciously) mixed, you might poison your patrons.

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.

Poured Drinks
To create some of these drinks, you can mix ground produce with the universal enzyme found in the kitchen. Note that the enzyme is a catalyst, which means it doesn't get used up in the reaction - separate it from your end product unless you want your patrons drinking it!

Xeno-based Drinks
Alcohol is toxic for some Species. Instead, they get drunk by butanol or toothpaste, which has little to no effect on other species.
