ETOH is an abbreviation for Ethanol, which is a shortening of Ethyl
Alcohol, the 'good' alcohol.

Alternate IQ, then DX, ad nauseum.

At zero IQ or DX you just can't manage to get another drink into you.
Barring a handy frat buddy with a funnel and a hose, most folk just get

Where does the getting sick and throwing up come in, or is that something that is just role-played and be damned with the rolling of the die? And anybody remember John Bonhom or the WHO drummer? There is still the risk of a missed savings roll even after passing out.
