Barman needs

Today I played as a barman for the 1st time. It was very fun, setting up a bar, etc. People come in and buy beer. The whole lot. But, people came once, maybe twice. All beer does it screw up your vision, so buying it is only for the lulz. I was thinking of some additional shipments that might add more drinks. They could give status effects, similar to Drugz mod, but not as powerful, because they are cheaper and legal. There are many different ideas, here are a few::

-Coffe: Increases speed temporarily, but slows you down afterward. Also negates the fuzzy effect from Beer.
-Whiskey - Makes you jittery, and unable to shoot a gun. But, you have a temporarily boosted Health.
-Martini - (Dunno if this is even possible, but:) Makes everyone else have the Alyx playermodel (Just for you, it would have to be client side) for a short time.
-Rum: Makes you throw up.

If anyone thinks of anymore, add them. Also, the status effects should stack, so you have to drink alot to get very strong effects. But, this would make the negetive effects stronger too. And the police should be able to tell how drunk you are.

And I do realize alot of this is subject to how good your lua coder is, so some of it may be impossible.

And pull you over for drink driving! Great idea Cubie.

BUT! You drive like you are drunk anyways so it is really hard to detect how is drunk and who is not... I crashed 5 times and flipped once in my police car on my way from downtown to that place where you spawn to get the dude that stole bams truck...

The cop car handles like something I stood in...

Exactly. I was thinking maybe a 2d sprite over your head, visible only to the police, to indicate you're drunk-ness level, since, like oskarso said, some of us don't drive very well.

Thats a great idea!

Maybe Sakarias may see this thread

and if you drink any type of beer you sometime go into ragdoll for like 2 secs beacuse you fall over or something?

Companion cube you and your crazy ideas, but good ideas at that!, i must admit being barman does get boring serving beer for $20 a piece gets you f*ck all in take and no one visits. The lua coding would be pretty straight forward until the alyx model bit and the throwing up bit (im guessing), although i guess the throwing up could be made as a custom of something. and bam your shop of naughty illegalness is still seized LOL

Drinking beer makes you explode after 13 seconds.

Whoa, what beer do you drink?

Homers special beer.

nah american beer is weak so that wont be it

lol, i like the ideas, so are we thinking of having branded beer? Which would be cool, and cube, when you mentioned the coffee, would it also make the handling of your car a lot more sensitive?

I think it should. I think all drinks should have some sort of effect on your driving abilites, to make it more interesting.
And while I'm here, I would LOVE to see wire e2 updated/fixed. I was working on a beer hat the allows you to press attack 2 to barf, but I couldn't spawn it because the e2 is outdated.

You Could Also Have No Just Coffee you could have more than that Like the More Shots in your coffee the fast lasts longer.
