Line 189:
* ''[[Shadowrun]]'' features Hurlg, a beverage described as "a dark, thick ale the consistency of soup, swimming with hops and nutmeg". Humans and elves without special implants or toxin resistance spells suffer from painful stomach cramps when they drink it.
* ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]''.
** Feywine. Made by rulers of [[The Fair Folk]], it is made of a fermented mixture of honey, crushed flowers, and a secret ingredient (which some elves theorize is [[Insubstantial Ingredients| distilled moonlight]]). This stuff is known to get even ''them'' hammered, and is known to cause frivolous behavior; if mortals drink it, this behavior can last ''months''. They rarely share it with mortals (including most elves) for that exact reason. Supposedly, simply taking a raison from the Feywild and stirring it into a glass of water will create a far less potent version of feywine, but still one where even one glass can cause intoxication in mortals.
** A 3rd Edition sourcebook says that fiends cannot get drunk by drinking alcohol, because they do not have metabolisms in the way mortals are familiar with. In order to experience an intoxicated state, they consume special magical beverages, like Gughalaki, a potent liquid derived from the scent glands of certain giant arachnids native to the Third Layer of Hell. Of course, this stuff might as well be liquor — ''incredibly'' potent liquor, possibly a hallucinogenic — to mortals who drink it, if they could even do so safely.
** Viperwine is another ''Planescape'' liquor favored by demons. This is literally ''deadly'' to mortals, although some Lower Ward bars sell an antidote for those who want to drink it safely. Although, "safely" is subjective, as again, what makes fiends drunk is likely very potent to mortals.
