Drunk
Adjective, Noun
1. Alcohol intoxication, or drunkenness is a euphoric physiological state that occurs when a certain amount of alcohol is ingested in proportion to a person's body weight. Common symptoms of alcohol intoxication include slurred speech, euphoria, impaired balance, loss of muscle coordination (ataxia), flushed face, vomiting, reddened eyes, reduced inhibition, and erratic behavior. In severe cases, it can cause coma or death.
However, the opposite occurs for dwarves, who have biologically evolved to depend upon alcohol as much as water. Common symptoms of it include increased charisma, orgasmic euphoria, increased agility, increased kinesthetic sense, vitality, purging of impurities from the mouth, eagle-like vision, superdwarven fortitude, and abstract thoughts. In great enough moments, it can cause a meditative trance or ascension from this plane of reality. In fact, the average BAC of dwarf is around 50%, making it approximately around the level of Wild Turkey, and due to this Dwarven mothers lactate eggnog. Elves who attempted to partake from the corpses of Dwarven warriors almost immediately die from kidney and liver failure.
2. A person who suffers habitually from the negative effects of alcohol. Looked down upon in non-dwarfy socities.
A dwarven champion, where he/she was able the internal biology to the point that the liver takes precedence over functions such as blood pumping and breathing. They have their own personal brewers and breweries for their appetites.
Goblin prisoners were often thrown into pools of swamp whiskey, and are convinced that they would be let go as long as they can swim to the other end. The Legendary Drunk would then simply open his/her mouth open as the goblins are halfway there. The results are lulzy.
