Alcohol and Peeing (Patreon)

The Alcohol system has been fully implemented.  Alcoholic drinks have several properties and have led to the creation of a few new mechanics, so lets check them all out, one at a time.Alcohol-Alcoholic drinks are new items that work like the rest of the consumable food items, restoring HP, Stamina or both.  However unlike items such as Milk or Water, these drinks contain alcohol in them.  The various drinks have various side effects, but will generally increase Red's attack stat for a limited time as well as other stats.  However...Drunkenness-Consuming Alcoholic beverages will increase a hidden meter.  Different drinks increase the amount of alcohol in Red's system by different amounts.  The stronger the drink, the more alcohol it contains.  Having too much alcohol in your system will result in one of several States being applied to Red.These are 1.Tipsy.  2. Inebriated.  3. Drunk.   4. WastedEach state reduces Red's accuracy and evasiveness, so the more you drink the more likely you are to miss attacks and be hit in turn.  These states can be removed by waiting several turns in battle, taking enough damage, walking a set amount of steps in the world, or resting at camp fires.  Likewise certain activities or other foods and drinks can reduce the alcohol content in Red's system.  However the most efficient way to reduce alcohol and remove these states is by urinating.

Peeing-In order to prevent a player from abusing alcoholic drinks stat boosting effects, it was necessary to create a counter balance that would force the player to lose the benefits.  While eating food and resting are entirely based on the player choosing to do an action, Red's bladder can be out of your control if you aren't careful.  The more fluids you intake the more Red's bladder fills, and she'll helpfully tell you as her bladder becomes more and more full.  When Red has to pee, certain areas on the map in "safe" spots will shine, and the player can relieve Red there, decreasing her bladder, alcohol content, and removing the drunken states.  And if the player ignores their bladder and continues to drink, then Red will lose control and involuntarily wet herself, bringing her deep shame and reducing all of these bonuses anyways.  On top of that, a heavy bladder will likewise incur a negative state, so make sure you use the bathroom otherwise Red will have a hard time dodging attacks.
