In video games, you can do a lot of things you can’t do in real life, like fly, make electricity with your body, or fight gods. But many games still try in some ways to be like real life. For example, there are a few games where you can get drunk. Depending on where you live, this is, of course, a very common thing to do in the real world.
It’s not quite the same when you do it online. It’s a lot safer and better for you, but you might not like it as much. Still, it is always interesting to see how games try to make drunkenness feel like it does in real life. They all have their own ways of making it seem like they are drunk and the effects that come with it. These are some of the most well-known games that can help you get drunk.
Bioshock
The first Bioshock game takes place in a place called Rapture, which is an underwater world. It’s not like the real world at all, but there’s still a lot of alcohol to pick up.
Getting drunk can be good for you because it can help your health. But there is a drawback: it lowers your EVE, which is what you need to use all your special powers. But there is a skill in the game that changes how alcohol makes you feel by making it give you more EVE instead of less. Still, if you drink too much, you will still have to deal with blurry vision.
Mass Effect 2
During Mass Effect 2, Commander Shepard is on a very important mission. If they fail, it could be the end of humanity. But that doesn’t mean the main character doesn’t need a break. After all, trying to save the galaxy must be a lot of work.
So, when you’re not on a mission, you can drink on your ship or at one of the many bars in the galaxy. If you drink too much in this game, the main thing that will happen is that your camera will shake. But you can also pass out if you drink the wrong things.
Sea Of Thieves
Pirates have always been closely linked to alcohol, especially rum. In a lot of stories about these kinds of people, they are shown drinking on their ships or in taverns and having a great time. So it’s only fair that Sea of Thieves, one of the best pirate games ever, lets you do the same.
So, each player has a tankard with grog in it that they can drink. But doing so makes life a lot harder. When you’re drunk, your vision gets blurry and it gets harder to do almost everything, even walking. You might even throw up if you drink too much. So, it’s clear that the game doesn’t show drinking in a good light.
Dead Rising 2
Dead Rising 2 is a funny game, but the story is very serious. After all, it’s about a group of people who live through the end of the world, including the main character, who is trying to protect his daughter. So, people don’t really want to have parties.
Even though the mall where the game takes place is empty, you can still find a lot of alcohol there. Like any other food or drink in the game, it will help you get some health back if you eat or drink it. It might also make you stop and throw up, which isn’t good when zombies are all around you.
Grand Theft Auto 5
Grand Theft Auto has always been known for having a lot of small details. So, of course, drinking alcohol will affect you in GTA 5. There are several places in the game where you can get drunk. You can go to a bar or to another house of the main character.
When you drink, your screen gets more and more blurry, and it’s much harder to move. When your character is drunk, they might say some strange things, and those are often the best lines in the game.
Afterparty
Alcohol is the center of the afterparty. The whole story is about two friends who want to get out of Hell by drinking more than Satan. But before that happens, they go to a few bars and clubs. And while they are at these places, they drink a lot of different drinks. When they do, the screen gets blurry and the camera moves around.
But that’s not the only thing that goes on. Depending on what you drink, your conversation choices will also change in this game. So, for example, you could drink a drink that makes you more assertive, and your conversation choices would reflect that.
Yakuza 0
Yakuza 0 is a great game that takes place in Japan. It takes place in a made-up city in the country, which is full of pubs and clubs that sell alcohol. This is one of the few games where being drunk is actually a good thing. After all, there aren’t any major side effects, other than making it harder to move around.
Still, there are a few good things about getting drunk. One thing is that your heat meter fills up faster, so you can use powerful attacks more often. Also, you can get a few skills that give you a boost if you’re drunk.
Red Dead Redemption 2
Several hours into Red Dead Redemption 2, you and your friend Lenny go on an iconic mission where you get drunk and go out on the town. But you can get drunk at other times too. There are actually a lot of chances to drink during Slope Game.
You can find or buy alcohol, get a drink at the saloon, or drink at a party with your gang. When you do, it will have a big effect on how you play. Not only does the screen get fuzzy, but it also gets much harder to move. But it’s all worth it because your character can say a lot of funny things.
