Drunk Ideas
There are certain settings in which alcohol is the font of genius.Called děṣěnsîṭ, děṣansîṭ, ḍawênsè, or ḍawmêṭ, (but always referenced in the plural), drunk ideas occur when one consumes too much Ale or other intoxicants and turns to their buddies, almost invariably saying something like "Hold my ale and watch this." In the moment of intoxication, the plan appears brilliant (especially when it is designed to impress a potential mate), but execution often falters to hilarious consequences. (There is a genre of "fish that got away" story playing on this theme, often told about one's buddies.)
Causes
Although the exact level varies from drinker to drinker, the onset of drunk ideas requires the drinker to, in fact, be drunk. The ideas in question vary depending on the type of drunk one is (angry vs happy, for example), but they are almost certain never to occur to the drinker if the drinker were sober.
Symptoms
The onset of drunk ideas is indicated by some phrase like "Hold my ale and watch this!" What follows is highly situational and dependent on who said the line, but it is very rarely known to end well.
Treatment
The drunkenness can be treated by allowing the drinker to "sleep it off" under supervision from one of their more sober friends, but certain injuries that result from the ideas may require hospitalization at least for the night (and in the case of broken bones, deep cuts, and some abrasions, Medical Gel and monitoring for several weeks).

'Prevention: drink responsibly'. Hahahahaha, love it.
We on Earth have designated drivers. I wonder if groups of Stenza friends have designated tankard holders... I'll have to ponder this.
