In a great many ways, your experiences and games appear to be outliers, and sometimes quite extreme outliers. You are playing in a campaign where it has taken 1.6 years of play to advance each level through XP, in effectively a weekly game. So, based on your stated average of ~44 sessions a year, that means it takes a bit over 70 sessions to advance a single level. That is such an extreme outlier, I am not even sure where to place it, to be honest. And by the way you speak, this sort of thing is the norm? It's wonderful that your experiences work for you, and hopefully bring you joy. But you probably do need to go into these discussions with the understanding that your experiences do appear to be the exception to a considerable amount of rules. Actually, I am using drunk as drunk is defined. I admit, I am terribly fond of using words as defined when I speak/write, so as to avoid confusion should anyone wonder what I mean by any given word. But in all seriousness, go look up the term drunk. In every dictionary, even. In all of them, it is defined as a state in which one's physical and mental faculties are impaired by an excess of alcoholic drink. Thus, when I say drunk, I actually do in fact mean intoxicated to a point that your faculties are impaired (even mildly impaired, but the metric is impaired). A light buzz-on is not drunk, since you are not impaired. Sorry, I thought that was clear. But for all future references if you are unsure of how I am using a word, then the baseline assumption should be I am using it as defined, unless I am obviously using slang.And regardless, it seems to be that you and a couple others assume that consuming non-alcoholic drugs doesn't have the same large spread of nuanced degrees of how affected you as alcohol does. They do. They very much do. And people are functioning all around you every day, doing every manner of activity, on various non-prescription drugs (or prescription drugs taken recreationally, for that matter). And the vast majority of them? You have no bloody idea they are. So lumping them all together as a deal-breaker seems...extreme. And cognitively dissonant. Mostly, I was nitpicking to get you to think about that.</blockquote>
