They can. They just have advantage on saving throws made against becoming drunk.Dwarves can't get drunk raw?

It isn’t treated as one, RAW, probably because the amount of alcohol you’d need to consume to die from alcohol toxicity is very high as compared to, say, arsenic.Okay. Let’s bring the tangent back toward the topic, or even just back toward gaming relevance in general, and ask, does that mean it is a poison in D&D game terms?
I would say it is obviously not.
Maybe the Norse alfar are good, in the sense of bringing good fortune to human individuals and families, and sometimes being guardians. But they can be disturbingly vicious when lashing out against enemies.Good being associated with beauty (elves) and evil being associated with ugliness (hags) is one of the problematic issues that D&D has with race, that it inherited from literature and folklore. I'd like to move beyond it, as much as possible.
The Egyptian clothing and jewelry are cool.There is also Fantasy Egypt Hamunaptra
Pathfinder has the Pahmet and Ouat fantasy Egyptian dwarves, but I am not sure if there is official art for them.

The Scottish sith seem ethically ambiguous, and in any case dangerous, albeit they teach humans how to heal and do magic.
The French fay (faie) are inscrutable, causing both magnificent and devastating fates, without obvious reasons.
Mythological accuracy helps me enjoy the game more, and beauty is central for these kinds of elves. And Greek nymphs too.
That said.
I strongly agree with the WotC decision to remove alignment from every D&D player race.
Every character of any race, requires the player to decide what alignment their character is. That includes any elf, including any drow, and any orc.
For D&D, I want to see male nymphs (of any kind of nymph) and valkyries, and so on. (While the valkyrie can be various races, I agree with the scholars who suggest they were mostly female alfar, the dis, who choose the fate of an honorable valorous death.)
The clothing is cool.
At the same time, I want to ask Egyptians if they are cool with this. Egyptians today are proud of their antiquity, and view their heritage as culturally sacred, even while being a different religion today.
All 7 of my grandfather’s siblings died from alcohol-related afflictions. He was a teetotaler.Think a guy here died of alcohol poisoning. Put the tap in his mouth from the keg and drunk for 47 seconds.
Drinking game here or doing a keg stand. Upside down handstand on a beer keg tap in mouth drink.
Haven't down one for 15 years not that stupid.
