Alcoholic Drinks...

[Axlrose]

While digging through old computer files, I found a file I kept that noted odd stats concerning my characters on Live (yes, I am weird like that). One section had the count total per different types of alcoholic drinks per character. Except for one of my characters, the rest were not brewers by any stretch; yet the sheer number of drinks each and every one of them consumed would have made them alcoholics! Then I began thinking if the classic period had the monsters dropping different and higher number of alcoholic drinks? Since I recreated my characters here, the total number of drinks found as treasure is nearly non-existent. Could it be possible that as the game became more popular, Verant or Sony reduced the number of readily available drinks to make it appear more "family friendly"? I am not familiar with the how Project 1999 began, but is there a possibility more drinks was a classic aspect not represented yet?

On a similar but different note, the following list copied from the "Unbrewable Drinks" Wiki page - does anybody know which drinks are actually consumable and which are just for quests? I removed "Ship in a Bottle" since that seem obvious.

Black Burrow Stout
Capt. Orlin's Spiced Ale
Clockwork Oil Stout
Crows Special Brew
Crow's Special Brew
Drom's Champagne
Dwarven Ale
Ernele's Champagne
Erud's Tonic
Feir'Dal Champagne
Flaming Clurg
Flaming Pungla

Frozen Toe Rum
Frothy Goblin Tonic
Gator Gulp Ale
Green Death Rum
Innoruuk's Kiss of Death
Lendel's Grand Lager
Lumberjack Pale Ale
Neriak Nectar
Ship in a Bottle
Tunare's Finest

Thanks for any help!
