Because I do!
Wow, one of the funnest things ever is to pick up some delicious beer and play Baldur's Gate II. Personally, I like to pick up ales and go around fighting beholders and stuff.

Right now I'm drink 312 Urban Wheat Pale Ale.. lol don't laugh! Because I just turned 21. I'm a lightweight I know... So, if anyone is interested, please, tell me what YOU like to drink, and if you like to drink, do you play baldur's gate? AND if so, what do you like to do in Baldur's Gate?

*WHEW* That was a mouthful. Well, back to slicing up beholders in the underdark.

I like to drink beer when doing anything, unfortunately I can't. At 18 I'm also a lightweight (in both size and alcohol consumption). I generally drink whatever ales are in the pub, usually whatever I haven't tried, There's generally something like Bombardier (RIP Rick Mayall) or Old Peculier in every pub (if not I have to degrade myself by drinking lager). I don't specifically drink beer while I play BG but it certainly helps the atmosphere, I also drink whisky depending on how I'm feeling.

Sure.

We drink Beer like it's water down here in Australia.

Oh and you don't have to be 21 either.

I'm such a perfectionist when it comes to Baldur's Gate (and similar games for that matter) that I cannot play it while drinking/drunk. I'd always have a feeling that I miss some loot or something. I do like drinking beer while playing some other more 'brainless' games.

Someone should think up a drinking game for multiplayer games.

CoryNewb

Only when I need a good tip from the local barkeep.

Sadly, I can't drink beer while playing BG, because I tend to play BG while I drive. Safety first.

In fact I always keep Bitter Black Ale nearby, (1554 is nice). Huzzah!

Usually cider, but sometimes beer.

While your character does not have to worry about alcohol poisoning, remember that YOU do. We don't want to lose any inebriated players.

But wait, why are you playing Baldur's Gate while driving? That's easily more dangerous than drunk driving.

@kcwise‌
What are you talking about? Characters CAN get intoxicated in Baldur's Gate, can't they?


Personally, I do like to drink while playing Baldur's Gate, but I don't drink alcohol.

Yup, but the bartenders always cut you off before you die. A Bhaalspawn falling off a bar stool isn't just funny, it's informative!

Surely he was only jesting. At least I hope so

@jackjack It would be kind of amusing to get the death animation from drinking too much.

Teflon

I would.
I think I am hearing BG inn music just reading this thread.

Lindeblom

I have been known to play once or twice under the influence of alcohol.....It usually ends with making weirder choices that can be amusing for the time being, but not in the long run.

That I was. I don't drink.

I don't drink. Caffeinated drinks runs through my bloodstream.

me too. More so than water. I might have a problem. lol

Nimran

Tropical fruit juice for me. Delicious and nutritious.

ShadowHunter

And I thought I was the only one who did that.
Here in Belgium no one is a lightweight at that age though ( beer and wine are legal once you're 16 )

wubble

All alcohol is legal in england at 18. I just play too much bg instead of socialising. ( i apologise if is sound drunk, i'm in the pub)

Aristillius

I love to drink a few beers while playing, and BG is one of them
I dont have any particular favorites, often I go for micro-brewery beers, maybe IPA's and Porters (Nøgne Ø and Haanbryggeriet, local here in Norway, so probably not known by others).

Didn't I kill you after you insulted adventurers?

Metalloman

Well, I usually drink a good beer while I play BG and generally when I play enjoyable and full-of-atmosphere videogames on my PC, as I consider these moments as a greatly relaxing moments for me. I most of the times drink medium/strong beers like Abbey/Trappist/Lambic beers, with a rich flavour; I also usually acompany them with a good Toscano cigar, generally the "Garibaldi" variety, sometimes a "Extra Vecchio" or an "Antico Toscano", less often a good cuban, like a Romeo y Julieta n.2, a Montecristo or a Churchill, but if I want to pull out the best from a Toscano cigar I smoke it while drinking a small glass of Grappa, after dipping the cigar point in it.

I love a bit of west country, Though I think cider is far more popular down south than where I live.

I much prefer beer, though I'm also very partial to whisky.
