I dunno, thats what I thought too, but I see people buying alcohol, they're like "ill pay by the minute, not by the point"??

Some Alcohol gives you up to 5 levels (points) of Drunkeness, Spiked Eggong is one. The problem with it is that if you drink one alone, it will only give you 3 minutes toward the title. The reason is that you don't get a minute for going from level 2 to level 1 or from level 1 to level 0. That's why people say "by the minute, not by the point."

They are the same once you get to level 2 drunkenness.
So minutes = points minus 2 for each session.

Ok thats still kind of confusing but I think I get it. People are trying to sell by the lvl of drunken, so they want 5xwhatever per point they are asking.

Thanks Kook
