Will real parties ever be possible?
MyPrecious:
I have a question, I know you guys generally fix things and I could go to non-awesome site but his one is the best so I'm guessing I will get an answer instead of a- "I don't know, maybe you should try Maty?"
For a long time I've been playing nightclubs and finally I'm fed-up with the fighting and bitching and LACK of alcohol. It would make more sense if their obnoxious behaviour could be put down to a couple of beers, but juice? (Or maybe it's the prohibition that pisses them off who knows?).
So my question is how does the bar affect the drinking Sims if at all? A long time ago I read in thread elsewhere that someone had moused over the picture while her Sim was at the bar and the message read "getting drunk". But no matter how many times I try this or how long they sit there all I get is "having a drink" and a desperate need to run to the bathroom.
If the answer is, it has no affect at all, can that be changed? I'm not talking about falling down lashed, although that would be funny to watch; I just think it would make more sense and be more realistic if they at least attempted to flirt or something after a couple of drinks at the bar.
Oh while I think of it, does the champagne (used for toasting and parties) have any effect, after all that is alcohol? I always forget about it but I'm hoping someone may use it and have an insight into its effects.
Thanks.

So far as I know, none of the drinks (juice or champagne) that came with the game do anything except what's obvious - decrease bladder, increase fun or whatever.
I have some hacks that allow me to serve beer, wine, wine coolers and the like, instead but I don't think any of them really do anything either - just change the mesh to something besides juice. Sorry but if I'm gonna have an alkie in the game (and some of my sims are just that way), I want it not to be on the same thing their kids drink.
There is this beer keg that has drunk actions and animations, if you aren't already aware of it:

That's the only one I know about though, and it's only good for some places.

There's another keg from SimSlice available in booty: http://paysites.mustbedestroyed.org/booty/simslice/objects/
I enjoy this keg but some people have had some bad experiences with this, apparently. I think I've heard people saying they saw their sims trying to flirt with siblings/parents/etc when drunk. I haven't seen this but I really only use the keg in lots with singles as I don't think a keg is really something that sims with children would keep around the house.
MyPrecious:
Thanks to both of you for your replies.
I guessed that there was nothing connected to the bar that could change behaviour, however small. I think I will give the beer keg at Simslice a miss, a I don't fancy any horrendous parent/sibling interactions. :(
The MTS2 link sounds interesting and thanks for the info.
I guess I miss the bar the Sims1 had, they would have a drink and hiccup, harmless but it made me smile anyway…I don't have any Sims in my game that would take to drink for any reason, (they are nearly all knowledge Sims on the main neighbourhood with a few family Sims to annoy me) I play too restrained for that…damn! I have a few Romance Sims living on a Nightlife NH that could be excused a beer or two considering their hectic lifestyle…
It's odd that we have the power to torment and kill but not to down a couple of beers and giggle and flirt? I know real life is a lot different but this is nothing more than a game and booze and humans (along with a lot of other mammals) have a history with the ripe fruit. A little giggling and flirting and maybe singing would be a lot of fun. (As it is a game the power to annihilate the larger lout through code would be welcome.)
Thanks again for the links and information. ;D
