jackWe operate under various social conventions. If you see someone in an opera mask, you must pretend you don't know them, even if you owe them a duel. If you catch someone at an embarassing moment, you didn't see it. We cloak present-receptence and name-remembering and so forth in polite conventions that soften possibly awkward problems under layers of indirection.
I like drinking, and getting drunk, but not all the time, nor do I want to rely on it. I propose the social convention:
Synthahol.
Of which the prime instantiations shall be:
100% Vodkha (ingredients: H2O)
Finest Ghin (ingredients: N2, O2, CO2, Ar, H2O)
People drinking synthohol shall be considered to be drunk :)
(Terminology comes from Startrek, Chess With a Dragon, and some vague conception of optional roleplaying rules :))
