You would concentrate harder while drink driving does that make you a better driver?

I dont see how that is relevant in any way to skill training

3) I am right, you are wrong.
instant fail


4) Alcohol costs money and in order to gain a stat, you would have to consume many bottles consecutively, costing you money and balancing it.
if costing money was a reason to accelerate training we'd let you get to GM using a vendor

5) Is it exploiting for someone to have clumsy cast on them while training?
being drunk and being clumsy are not the same thing

6) Read these points and confess your ignorance.
the sheer irony here is the funniest thing

--I know some good drunk drivers. Over time, habitual alcoholics become quite adept at covering the fact that they are drunk. They are quite good at driving drunk and even better when sober because they are used to concentrating so much when not sober. Nevermind drunk...If in any way someone is handicapped, they have to adapt and become better at something using less...this is the same thing. Call it what you want.

--It is relevent to you mentioning alcohol being used as an exploit.

3) I am right, you are wrong.

--Is that a quote directly from your teachers? Obviously, this must be put to a vote. Obsidianites, feel free to cast your vote on this to determine who is correct once and for all.

--Many people DID use vendors to GM skills...hmm...archery(even not using arrows!), poison, anatomy, herding, eval int, perhaps taste ID for the sickos. Who knows what else...But I am sure you didn't mean it that way. You meant it like someone would buy something from a vendor and use it to gain in a skill or stats....hmm perhaps like reagents would be used...duh. Better remove those from vendors...Hmmm...how about pickaxes as well? Mining causes str gains, and a pickase sure helps.

--Wanna bet? It is also setting stats lower temporarily and training stats past normal limits. No need to mince words to cover your wrongness

6) Read these points and confess your ignorance.

--Doesn't sound like a confession, but hey, when ego is all you got...you have to protect it

I can't recall many stories of drunken wizards either.

From personal experience I can't think of one thing that alcohol gave me some sort of advantage over others with, except perhaps patience.

Don't start trying to create stupid and immature arguments with GMs on the forums as you will lose.
