1602 - The Year When We Started Counting Drinks

Huh

In the merry old years, drinks were not implemented, because even the water was very good, and there was no need to drink for health - everyone was immortal just because of the life-giving water.

Now it's not so merry anymore. Yearly (realweekly), 168 bottles of something needs to be drunk. MEAD is cheap but dangerous for health, BEER is neutral, and different WINEs and spirits are good.

The /CHAR/"M"(drink plan) shows the approximate consumption per character. The exact data is in /F_OWN very end.

Please make changes to both if you want to tailor your drinking. If your drink total is less than 168 bottles, water is drunk instead (health warning - even worse than mead!). More than 200 bottles is not really needed.

Exact health, life and death, are known only to God. Take heed on every hint you get how things happen behind the scenes, and do what you can on your part

Current estimate:

SPIRITS
CLXII - 6 bottles
CVS - 12 bottles
VOH - 19 bottles

WINES
W1600 - 936 bottles
W1601B - 727 bottles
W1600M - 780 bottles

BEER
- 7812 bottles

MEAD
- 6720 liters

WATER
- 0 liters

Future peek: In Ultima V5-6 and beyond, you can drink 24 bottle lots in restaurants at bulk prices for sustenance, and individual bottles for show and specific purposes. In addition to the various kinds of spirits and wines (perhaps a hundred of both will eventually be available, making the stocking decisions of the restaurants more difficult), other substances can also be enjoyed to boost health. Coffee, Cigars, Green Herbs, and Mushrooms will eventually be added.
