How come no developer ever makes realistic alcohol mechanics?

>take a shot
>wake up home with no recollection of things past the first shot
what a shit mechanic

i really liked in fallout 4 if you mashed the skip dialogue button while drunk the pc would say "mmmyeah uhhuh" all slurred like.
one of the very small amounts of soul in that game

Ethanol is literally poison. Just one that our bodies can break down.
And yes, it sucks. It tastes like hot shit on a good day, and the effect is delayed brain processes. Fantastic.

>it's poison
Difference between the poison and the cure is the dose. Everything can be poison.
>tastes like hot shit on a good day
No, it tastes heavenly
>the effect is delayed brain processes
More like relaxation and lessened inhibitions,

Because you're usually playing a hero, not a fat 30-something wasting his life away, or a pathetic 20-something leaving the club pussyless and defeated again.

I don't wanna be an obese nigger and yeah the next day usually ain't pleasant, but if it weren't for those two facts I would be binge drinking every damn day.
Sadly, drinking also makes me even worse at videogames, otherwise I usually enjoy mentally handicapping myself.

I don't like getting drunk, but I do love good beer and nice spirits and cocktails. The only thing that honestly stops me from making negronis or sipping scotch every evening at home is that I'm always on call for work.

fees bad man

Recommend me some abs workouts, /v/
I have a tummy fetish and I want to be self-reliant

If its for taste I'm drinking Rum and Coke, which also means I'm staying up until 8 AM. Fortunately I have options like sake and unmixed hard liquor for sugar and caffeine free booze.

I'm 135 pounds and rarely drink so I can get drunk off 2 beers

A lot of people pavlov themselves to enjoy piss taste just to get drunk.

I often do basically an old-fashioned but with a nice dark rum instead of whiskey. Tastes delicious

Witcher 1 had pretty fun drunk mechanics where you'd stumble about. Deep Rock Galactic is amusing when you get hammered and do a mission seeing twice as many bugs.

ive only had alcohol 2 times in my life. both wines but both tasted fine

>>717562948 (OP)
How would you realistically depict alcohol mechanics when said mechanics are mental and take hours? They cannot even realistically depict fear that can only last for a few minutes.

>>717562948 (OP)
That's what happens to me though

once in drg i timed the drop pod to leave right as i started stumbling over about to beer faint. the entire mission my camera was swinging around and super blurry.
good thing i was engineer so i could at least set up turrets. i would have left if i werent host.

>>717562948 (OP)
That's what happens unless you're an alcoholic

It takes a lot of alcohol to get me drunk, but caffeine sends me to the moon.

>>717562948 (OP)
are you fags all lightweights?
why are you discussing the effects when the problem is that the player experience all these things after one sip

Is this really your reaction after taking a "sip" of beer? Are you a woman?

>>717565893

das all

I dont want drunk mechanics
I want to actually drink for 10 hours

>black out and wake up in some shanty shack in a far corner of the world next to a goat wearing a dress like I'm in some d-tier seth rogan film
More games should unironically do this
