[QUOTE="AuraSeer, post: 3347583, member: 1331"] That's not drinking during a game. That's trying to play during a drinking session. Alcohol is not uncommon in my group. Our sessions are at dinner time, so a few of us will often have wine or beer with the meal. Nobody has ever been too drunk to play. A few of us have gotten slightly tipsy on special occasions, like the end of a campaign-- or that one time I brought homebrew mead that was far stronger than expected-- but about the worst that ever happened was that we told more bad jokes than usual. Of course, we're all adults. Most of our group consists of married couples in their thirties, with children. (One of our players hasn't had a drink in several months because she is currently pregnant.) We're probably more aware of alcohol's effects on us than a younger crowd would be. The only time I ever saw alcohol stop an RPG was in college. Even then, it wasn't because the gamers were drinking, it was because of the drunken frat boys who decided to pull the building's fire alarm. [/QUOTE]
