I am enjoying the Exalted game a lot and given what happened last game I think I will really be able to turn it into some really good growth for my character. I hope the other two keep their current characters since they really should use the chance to grow instead of getting pissed at another player and just make a whole new character but then

It'll be a useful rule, I think. Not having to talk through the two thoughts that someone is capable of maintaining when they are soused-- especially when it's not inherently makey-funny thoughts that entertain just by the having-- will be good for the coherence.

I don't think there's so much a problem with drinking alcohol as a problem with those who seem unwilling or unable to refrain from drinking to the point of being drunk or soused!

In the more hack'n'slash games I played, I found I needed a glass or three of alcohol to shut down my artiste centers and natural sympathy enough for me to "kill some orcs" without wondering about orc rights, their individual motivations for attack and NPC character issues, the inter-tribal repercussions and sociopolitical fallout, and the nuances of the moral stature of killing in a quasi-feudal society.   : )

But The Captains required whiskey! (ie, there are characters where you want drinking. Though, of course, in all honesty, the game was better when we were sober.)

The Captains were best played when neither of their players became more than tipsy or happy.

The few times their players became actually drunk or soused, the gaming sucked.

Fortunately, that happened seldom.   (Perhaps only twice?)

B'sides, what made The Captains so cool was their bromance, and hell, isn't it a law that straight white American guys can only bromance when they're got a couple of shots in 'em?   : D
