And just like real hobos, so do we. You'll be able to train your drinking stat starting with [[Adventures\|your mission to Canbodia]].
-	:At this point, little is known about the drinking stat. It resembles a new form of T, a way to train your stats at a cost. It is currently a very large cash sink as well. As a result, the opinions on the best ways to train drinking are varied.

At any point, you can view your current BAC in your home. Your maximum blood alcohol level is 0.2, plus 0.01 for every 25 drinking stats. Should you go over your maximum BAC, you will LOSE drinking stat instead of gaining it; thus, if you were to drink something giving 0.04 BAC while you had 0.17 BAC or more with a 2.0 tolerance, you would lose drinking stat and pass out (losing all your life).
	:Every 15 minutes, or 10 minutes for donators, your BAC will drop by 0.01.

The drinking stat, beyond being a nifty new stat that you will watch rise in awe, drinking some of the higher ranks drinks provide semi-insignificant increases to your fighting stats. Per stat point, however, drinking is not incredibly efficient. The true benefit of drinking is that found in [[skills]] (see [[skills]]).
	:There are some concerns about how the stat gain is formulated. As of this writing, we've been receiving counter-intuitive reports from hobos that higher intelligence and higher drinking stats give less fighting stats than hobos with less drinking stats. The author's theory is that this is to compensate low-level hobos for their dedication. However, this is groundless speculation.		:There are some concerns about how the stat gain is formulated.

-	:Contrary to the opinions of the teetotling lameasses indicated in the last section, there does seem to be a benefit to drinking. Not the stat, but actually being drunk. It seems, similar to rats' sprint ability, to grant an extra attack from time to time as you stumble drunkenly towards your enemy. While this might not seem like a huge benefit, one free swing from you means one swing less for them.	+	:Contrary to the opinions of the teetotling lameasses indicated in the last section, there does seem to be a benefit to drinking.
