Being drunk should result in the inability to swim, and a chance to flip the boat over, causing one to drown. Thousands of people die this way every year, so it's very realistic thing and should be added to the game to add immersion and warn people from doing it in RL.
Some other effects from drinking too much alcohol could also be added.

Re: Boats and alcohol
I've already observed some Russian neighbors making mistakes while playing this game drunk, do we really need a second layer of drunkeness for all the alcoholic Hearthlings? xDSome other effects from drinking too much alcohol could also be added

Re: Boats and alcohol
Drunk and sudden change in temperature may cause you to faint and drown in water, it doesn't have to be that deep, to your knee is enough. Most people who drown actually know how to swim, but are drunk.Potjeh wrote:I swam drunk many times and I've never drowned.

Re: Boats and alcohol
I support this change if we add on localization of the game that alcohol makes the Irish, 'Mericans (Non city folk.), and Russians run/swim faster. Can confirm from how many times I've seen a bubba out swim beavers here while drunk enough to die of liver failure. You might not be able to stand up straight but damn if you can't float and dog paddle faster than a crack addict going after their next fix.

Re: Boats and alcohol
there should be some chance of a meteorite falling on a hearthling's head too (or their village, which would result in destruction of most of things in the area)

Re: Boats and alcohol
I support this idea.
There should be a chance that if a drunk player is riding a horse, the player could fall off the horse and die, like the equivalent of people dying from drunk driving.

Re: Boats and alcohol
Fun fact: horses can take incapacitated riders/drivers home as they usually know the route back. As long as they manage to stay horseback or sitting in the vehicle.dafels wrote:I support this idea.
