[QUOTE="tzor, post: 2986487, member: 12826"] Offhand I would say yes. The one big difference between booze and other forms of poison is that alcochol metabolizes in the body turning into something non toxic in the process. It also has a vaporization point lower than the average body temperature and thus is also expired through sweat. Personally I would hand wave total immunity. If I had the chance I would debate ad-nausem on whether or not the process of the kidneys working overtime to filter out alcochol is a part of the poison effect. Dehydration is another effect of booze, when combined with some common diseases in some people the results can be fatal. One can, of course, take this to a high extreeme. Hot spices produce a chemical reaction on the tongue which produces happy endorphins as a result. Does immunity to poison mean you might consider most chilli cookouts bland? Hard to say. One might limit the ability to stoppnig at the point where it would do any physical damage to the body. A bee sting might still give a rash, booze might give a buzz, and hot peppers might give a sensation and reaction, but nothing to the point of attribute damage. In this case you get the initial "buzz" but you don't start behaving like a drunken fool because your stats start gettnig impared. Either way can work. [/QUOTE]
