This is a module for the tabletop roleplaying game Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition (D&D 5E)for the software FoundryVTT that adds alcohol consumption and its effects to the game. Its main mechanic is an inebriation point system that tracks how drunk a character is, and applies various conditions and effects based on their level of inebriation.
DISCLAIMER (shortened): dnd5e-alcohol is a fantasy roleplaying module for FoundryVTT and does not promote or encourage real-life alcohol consumption. This is purely fictional and should not be interpreted as endorsing drinking, especially underage drinking or alcohol use during pregnancy. I seek no financial gain from this module. Please play and drink responsibly, and remember that real-world alcohol consumption carries risks. (See full disclaimer at bottom of Readme.)
Inspired by this ruleset by CupidFaust on GMBinder Many changes have been made to better fit the base dnd5e system in FoundryVTT.
If you have ideas for enhancements or errors to report, use the "issues" on this repo.
When the module is updated, items you have already imported from the compendiums will remain unchanged. Unless you import them from the compendiums again.
The characters now have a numeric flag of how many "inebriation points" they have. Consuming alcohol will prompt for a Save, if the save is failed, the potency and properties from the drink can be manually applied to the character from the chatcard.
There is a bar / meter in the character sheet that shows the current inebriation points.
- Legacy 5e
- Default 5e (first introduced in v11 of Foundry?)
- Tidy5e classic (foundry v12)
- Tidy5e classic (foundry v13)
- Tidy5e "quadrone" (foundry v13)

When the inebriation points reach certain thresholds (decided by your constitution score), you will get increasing worse alcohol-induced conditions. Tipsy > Drunk > Wasted (+Poisoned) > Incapacitated.
- +2 to persuasion
- -2 to insight
- -2 to wisdom saves
- -2 to all attacks
- -2 to int and wisdom checks and saves
- Poisoned condition
- May vomit uncontrollably
- May fail regaining hp, hit dice and spell slots on first long rest
By selecting tokens, the GM can manipulate the inebriation points with these 3 macros.
Taking a short rest will reduce the inebriation points on a character by 1. Taking a long rest will reduce inebriation to 0, but going to bed with the Wasted condition might ruin your sleep, and hinder you from regaining spell slots, hp and hit dice (constitution save).

The drinks have an active effect they apply, this is replaced with potentially added inebriation points and other properties if the character fails a save. This means you can add new items that add inebriation points and the properties available in the module by following the naming convention on the ActiveEffect: "Alcohol - Potency 1 - Dangerous - Disarming" for example. Swap the number for the potency of the drink, and add as many of the properties as you want seperated by dashes.
Upgrade unarmed strikes to 1d4.
-5 to perception checks
-2 to charisma and wisdom saves
Can choose to fail if matching race / species, and gain 1 less potency from drink.

- Their Tequila spitup can add inebriation points to characters.
- Can use an action to "open tap" and make a slippery trail, that characters might slip on if they cross it.
- Barroom Knucks: Improves unarmed strikes and improved weapon damage while drunk.
