As I sloooooooooooooowly progress through the drunkard title I was thinking of a few things that would make it a little less tedious.
1. Increase the level of drunkenness to levels above 5. Maybe to 10 or 15 since there are different drinks that can give you 5 levels of drunkenness. This would make it so that you don't have to click on another ale ever minute or two to keep the title going, but maybe every five minutes drink another five ales. Best case scenario, in my judgment, would be to have no limit, just drink a lot of ale and then wait, and wait, and wait for it to where off before you can go do something else.
2. To complement that, a little box could be displayed in the top left of the screen, like sweet tooth does, with say a mug of ale and a number saying what level of drunkenness you are on. This would make it so that you don't have to stare at your hero panel all the time and hope you don't forget what the last number was to keep you drunk enough to work on the title and not waste money (that this title costs a lot of).
3. I would be reminisce not to mention making it like sweet tooth where it is 10,000 points instead of minutes, but that would be grossly unfair to the people who actually did stare at a swirling screen for 16 days.
The first two would still make you sit at the computer for 16 days drinking ale, but make it so that you don't have to have your attention focused on keeping your drunkenness up. The third, as nice as it would be, would be unfair to people that already did it because of the less money needed and a lot less time, but it never hurts to put it out there.

signed... who cares for the others, would i've had done it with 1 chara still, I would grant other players this overall improvement, because all my other x characters of my account, wqhich have not the title would also have then a benefit from that change ... so its far more a win win, then anyhow an unfair loss ...
so who cares for people, which still have the titlwe maxed...wow, they had to stare for 16 days at the pc ...had someone forced them to do it ?
Also you doesn#t get forced to drink only in towns and sit around ..you can work on that title also, while you play normally ... and even have a little benefit through it, due to dwarven skills, which are better, when u are drunk

Like that dude said, screw the others. If they waste 1,000 minutes of their life being fakely drunk, then they really need a kick in the groin and to learn how to live a life. I hardly have 1,000 minutes and I've beaten every campaign + EotN, have 4 million exp... the list goes on.

And as for the stipulation that #3 would irritate those who are already Incorrigible? No. I got the now-equivalent of Legendary Skill Hunter (Elite Skill Hunter) when there was no maxed title for it, no really big cool reward. I also finished getting Tyrian Grandmaster Cartographer after the arenas were inaccessible but before they got removed from the map. Tell me about scraping. I do not begrudge any of the people who've gotten an "easier time" or "a knowledge of reward" before going for those two titles, so I daresay anyone should hate on an edit to the Drunkard title to make sense.

I vote for an icon at least that shows drunk level so you dont have to sit there like an automoton staring at a watch for days on end. Drunkard is so asanine without an icon, and arguably still asanine with an icon, just marginally less so.

I find it odd that to get this title, anet makes you stay in one place doing absolutly nothing but clicking 2 times a minute for 16 days. make it like sweet tooth, 1 point/drink. but have you become drunk to allow for the dwarf skills. Also make it that if you drink less than 3 at a time you get no points. (firewaters, and spiked egnogs give more points)

Very excellent ideas here, I too wish to speeeeeeeed this proccess up, soooo looong..... I agree with wetsparks about the increased "potency" of drinks so as to speed up the proccess. But wouldn't this just be a show of how rich someone is by buying titles; thats the only problem I foresee. Excellent topic!

Yes, that little gimmick does make drunkard go faster, but it also makes it cost a hell of a lot more money.
That is a 66.7% increase in the amount of alcohol needed. Before the loot scaling nerf, that would suck, but doable. With loot scaling, less money from farming, value of lots of items gone down, makes it a lot harder to get the money for that much extra ale.

A: Yes, unfortunately acquiring all the alcohol needed for this title can cost a great deal. If you don't have the cash, your best bet is to do what I did: Wait until Wintersday and farm your fanny off. You can lessen the farming you'll need to do by spending the time between now and then looking for cheap alcohol being sold by other players. |

I say lets not change anything; amount of alcohol needed, minutes to points etc. Can agree that is a rather stupid money sink and time-consuming title of course - but this is what the drunkard title is! Those who get it, shows a enormous dedication to the game, both in money and time spent. Sweet Tooth is a easier title > which means "less" dedication.
BUT! Having to remember the level of drunkness - constantly watching your title increase; is just way beyond beliveable.
For changes to the title itself /unsigned!

most the people i talk to who got the title did one of two things:
exploited the zone bug( which has now been half fixed, makign it unreliable)
or Drunkard Bot
i know very few people who actually did it legit to get IAH.
Say go to point system liek sweet tooth.

With thanksgiving near, it would give a good reason for us to give 'thanks' while gulping the stuff we got during the event.
Most important: Effect icon.
Secondary: Make it into point system, or increase the time 'buffer' of drinks you got. So you can drink 50 beers and spend 47 minutes drunk.
Currently staying drunk while using skills that benefit from drunk is annoying and sometimes a matter of luck, so you don't lose the drunkenness before using the skills.

I REALLY like this idea, but I don't think it or any of the others in the forum are likely to be implemented, mainly because GW2 is right around the corner. Anyways.
Kudo's to you for a great idea!

I have yet to figure out why your character can apparently consume hundreds of cookies, bottles of soda, candy apples and the equivalent of 16 pies, but god forbid they have more than three or four drinks at a time. That's pretty much the only reason I'm /signing this. :P
It's tedious as hell, but I tend to keep the title track window open (but GOD I'd love a status icon) and drink as I farm rep points in EOTN. I'd so much prefer just chugging this obscene amount of booze I've been holding and adding to for over a year now. :P

I currently have to go drinking while playing, and it's almost impossible to get to know how much and when I've drank.
Most of the time, the alcohol gets wasted, so it ends up like five times harder than sweet tooth, instead more or less the same.

way too much titles of GW are imo concepted for way to long effort ..as if Anet would say:
"When you want to reach this title..then you have to play our game for x years and to mutate into a hardcore powergamer...you have to play. to farm.to grind for at least 8 hours per day to be worth the title >.>"
where we are at title change of sweet tooth and drunkard ..
i also think..these 2 titles could resally need more RANKS ..come on..both titles have only 2 ranks oO
how silly is that, when you see. that most all other titles have like 10 ranks...
why can't anet just put more ranks between 1000 and 10000 points (minutes)
something like this for example:
1000
2000
3000
4000
5000
6000
...
10000
and bang those titles would also have 10 ranks...and the players would receive over tiem a better feeling of a raising progess ..
when you have to grind/farm from 1000 to 10000 ..the time needed/spent times feels so endless..but with mork ranks bettween..you have at least the fealing of getting quicker further..when you see. how you rise from rank to rank..ever 1 step nearer to your goal
however. i can sign only again.. that drunkard title needs to be changed from minutes to points.. to take out the stupid time point about this title..so that the player just needs to drink only the alk...but hasn#t t wait for the minutes to be counted
Example:
1000 I love Alcohol
2000 Where's my Whisky?
3000 A Treasure for Rum ..Yoho
4000 Wotka for Life
5000 Gimme Ouzo!!
6000 Beer oh lovely Beer HURRAH
7000 One Jägermeister for me please
8000 Wow crazy these Cocktails
9000 Nothing is better, than an ancient Wine
10000 I sold my Soul for Alcohol
and something similar funny for Sweettooth then ....

Yup... let's have a briefing:
- Either increase by item consumption just like sweet tooth or have a higher buffer, so you can use more beberages at the same time without having to check it every single minute. In real life, you drink some time and get drunk for a whole while.
- Effect icon. So people that can't paly with Post-processing can know if hey are drunk or not. Specially if the effect icon has a 'timer' bar.
- More ranks, without increasing the max. It could be, at least:
* 1,000.
* 3,000.
* 6,000.
*10,000
I want to add one more:
- Make a change like the gladiator, doubling the points for those that already have some, so the title works just like the sweet tooth:
* 1,000.
* 2,000.
* 5,000.
* 9,000.
* 14,000.
* 20,000.
That should make the title... eh... how do you say that... 'consistent'.

thats a thing..which can easily changed by making out of minutes just points and this change would make the whole title also alot lesser annoying .... and time consuming at all
the only thign what would be left..what is really enough is the "cost factor" of this gold sink title ... what other is this title not ...
this title requires no skill ... it requires atm only lots of senseless time and huge amounts of gold..as long you receive all your alcohol over time not by other ways that cost you no money at all. like zaishen keys ..
would require still 3334 zaishen keys. which have to drop for you firewaters to reach the 10000 Minutes after 10k minutes oO
but get first so much zaishen keys ..3334*5000 Balth Points = 16670000 Balthazar faction points...so 16,67 Million Balthazar Points ...
wtf should ever reach so much ????
Hmm...let us think of someone..who plays at xunlai bids and gets every month 50 points --that are 10 Zaishen-K ...
that would be 333,4 Months of taking part on the xunlai bids..or 27,78 YEARS !!!
so this is sure no way.. so you have to farm for gold to buy you so much alcohol as you can. u have to use every way ingame to gather as much as ascohol together..as you can..just to reduce the time effort as much as possible and then you want still..that the player has to waste f.ucking time..for minutes..until the drunk alscohol will count for the title finally ?
thats ridiculous ...
sweettooth title lets us also not wait for minutes..until the character has chewed the sweets x thousands of times..before it will finally swallow the stuff down >.<
god damn it ...
is it really wished too muhc to change this stupid title from minutes into points ? just to make it lesser annoying and more fun at all ?
