Apologies, this a long one, but I feel the need to share this one. The following is an actual series of messages I sent in our Fellowship Chat.
Context. We're doing the Fellowship adventure, and I started off by cheerleading what our current needs are...
Looking for 2 Carpenters, 3 Potions and 2 Hats. Next wnats 1 Brewer (I'll have 1 in 15 minutes), 6 Flacons and 4 Guards (I have 1).
*15 minutes later*
I'm sure everyone was holding their breath, but I *hic* got that pesky Brewer.
Only *hic* to drink another 2600 of those ales in 6 days.
2600 drinks in 150 hours... That's... *scribble, scribble, carry the one* 17.3 drinks an hour.
I hope I'm one of those Lord of The Rings Elves, because 17.3 drinks an hour, that's some Blood Alcohol Content there...
Wow, looked up a BAC chart... it doesn't go past 10 drinks in an hour.
I think, for my IRL human weight, in that first hour, I'd be .38, or nearly 5 times the legal limit.
Extrapolating waaaaayyyyy beyond acceptable limits, if I continued to gain .38 every hour, and metabolize .015 every hour, if I continued, after 150 hours, I would have a BAC of 54.75
My Blood would be half alcohol. My BLood would be 100 proof. A shot of my blood could almost get a lightweight legall drunk.
And this is the quality conversation that we have in this Fellowship.
Also, you must be over 21 to drink from the punchbowl of unlabeled red refreshment that has now mysteriously appeared in the break room.
*a little later*
Ohhhhh, it's even worse than I thought...
I might only need to drink 2600 within 150 hours, and so only have to drink 17.3 an hour, that's not what I'm currently doing...
I'm drinking 10 drinks every 5 minutes...
I'm drinking 120 drinks an hour.
That's an estimated BAC in an hour of..... 3. Not .03. Bot .3. 3
At that rate, I'll have drunk 2600 in 21.6 hours. At which point my BAC would be 64.675.
*a little later*
Oh, thank God! Fatality usually occurs at around a BAC of .4. That's under 10 minutes. I died almost an hour ago
I wonder what the consequences of eating 10 loaves of bread an hour would be?
Only 3 more potions...
Oh god, I hope potions aren't alcohol based. Someone pass me a Witch Hat, I think I need to empty my cauldron, if you know what I mean...
