"No one can beat us cause we'll hit you where it hurts. Unless you know a tavern with loose cards and looser skirts! For every bloody battlefield, we'll gladly raise a cup. No matter what tomorrow holds, our horns be pointing up!"

Drunkenness

An inevitable consequence of excessive drink is drunkenness. Most individuals will exhibit the usual symptoms of lack of motor control, slurred speech, lowered inhibitions, or vomiting. Sometimes, an affinity for drink can become an addiction, particularly after a traumatic event.
A character can consume a number of alcohol drinks equal to his Constitution modifier without suffering any negative effect. Each additional drink will force the character to make a Constitution saving throw against the booze DC.

Booze save DC = 10 + the number of alcoholic drinks consummed.
A character failing this Constitution saving throw is drunk and gains the poisoned condition.

Additionaly, a character drinking a number of alcohol drinks equal to his Constitution score will pass out an suffer a level of exhaustion.

Drugs

Almost no substances in Toriel are outright banned, and consumption of narcotics for leisure is especially commonplace among nobles during parties, or by the poor population. Among people of Toriel, smoking tends to be more of an upper-class practice. Smoking is done thanks to a pipe.

• Nilhogg’s Nose (Mushroom) - A Nilhogg’s nose is a small mushroom that grants any creature that eats it advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks based on smell for 1d4 hours. However, the creature suffers disadvantage on saving throws against effects based on smell for the same amount of time.
• Timmask (Mushroom) - Also known as “the devil’s mushroom,” a timmask is a two-foot-tall toadstool with orange and red stripes across its beige cap. Uprooting or destroying a timmask causes it to expel a 15-foot-radius cloud of poisonous spores. Creatures in the area must succeed at a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned. While poisoned in this way, the creature is under the effect of a confusion spell with a duration of 1 minute. When the spell effect ends, the poisoned condition also ends.
• Tongue of Madness (Mushroom) - Tongue of madness is an edible fungus that looks somewhat like a large human tongue. A creature that eats a tongue of madness must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or compulsively speak aloud its every thought for the next hour.
