Drinks & Mixing

In this campaign, you can drink and even prepare special alcoholic cocktails that have temporary effects. The effect of any drink lasts for 10 minutes at a time, and a bottle filled with the drink contains six servings. So one person with one bottle of the drink can enjoy the effects for one hour, or up to six people can share one bottle. You can consume one serving of the drink as a bonus action on your turn, but pouring a drink onto another creature's mouth is an action. The effect of the drink ends early if the drinker's hit points are reduced to 0.
However, the heavy alcoholic nature of these drinks comes with a negative side effect. When consuming each serving, the drinker must make a (DC 10 + total amount of servings they have consumed since last long rest) Constitution saving throw, or suffer the drunk-condition for a time equal to the drink's effect on them. Anyone with the drunk-condition has -2 to Armor Class and disadvantage on Dexterity and Charisma checks and saving throws for its duration. Spells like lesser and greater restoration remove the condition, but it will also negate the other effects of the drink. Consuming another kind of drink while under the effect of one also negates the previous drink's effect, except the possible drunk-condition.

Mixing Drinks

When taking a long rest, you can spend time to mix special drinks if you are proficient with a brewer's kit and have access to the kit and fresh water. Each drink also requires a key ingredient that needs to be bought, hunted or foraged from the wild. You can only mix one type of drink per long rest, and only enough to fill one bottle (six servings). This counts as your chosen activity for the resting period, so you cannot participate in other activities such as cooking or training.
A DC 12 Investigation, Nature, Perception or Survival check is usually required to find ingredients in settlements or wilderness, unless the DM decrees otherwise.
When attempting to mix a drink, you can make a Dexterity check with the proficiency bonus provided by the brewer's kit against the DC of the chosen drink. If you have the barkeep or guild artisan: brewer/distiller/vintnier background, you have advantage to the check. Another party member with proficiency with the brewer's kit can also help with the process, giving you advantage.
You only have one attempt to mix a drink per long rest, and if the skill check fails, the drink only causes the drunk-condition upon a failed constitution saving throw with none of the positive effects, and the ingredient is spent.

List of Special Drinks

Alcoholic Inspiration (DC 20) The drinker can add 1d4 to one attack roll, saving throw or ability check they make each round. They can wait until after they roll the d20 to use the inspiration die, but must decide before the DM announces the result. Ingredient: 10 gold worth of powdered silver.

This breath also reduces the target's speed to 0 until the end of their next turn if they fail the save. Ingredient: permafrost ice cube.
