I think that's part of the reason raptor farming is popular for events - it may be slightly less efficient for the special drops, but it also helps title completion, while opening the front gate of Nolani and mowing down the Charr (or finding some other location with large mobs of low-level enemies) does not have this benefit.

WOW. I was farming my but off last night. I found a secret spot to gather them with killing 30 baddies in less than a minute. WOOT for my guild!!!
I got 50 so far.
If they are lvl 5 and give 3 minutes they should sell for 500 gold right?

Personally I think that this title is stupid, so I just sell all my booze and buy other stuff instead.
The Red Messenger
the way people use them, you get 3 minutes per. a decent sale price for lvl 1 booze is 125-150g each. so lvl 5 should sell for 400-450 in my opinion. (slightly higher low because of the ease of use...less clicking to max the title)

Alcohol isn't valued by the level, it's valued by the minute. And the going rate for alcohol is 100 - 150g per minute. The going rate for grog ATM is 300 - 350g per bottle.
The Mountain
^^by that logic, lvl 1 drinks provide zero minutes (by themselves); thus, if those cost 125/e, then the price of lvl 5 drinks would be infinite, aye?

If you only drink one it doesn't count at all.
If you drink at least three in succession they count but only if you have at least three of them. So it's pretty pointless to buy only 1 (unless you have other lvl1 alcohol).
Parson Brown
I'll try to simplify...
There are 5 levels of drunkenness. Any alcohol-related item can provide 1-5 levels (a level also lasts for a minute, so "level" and "minute" are used interchangeably).
However:
Level 1 and 2 drunk give no benefit to the title or show any effect. If you had an inventory of level 1 alcohols, you could drink them 1 per minute and never log a point toward the title.
Also, you can not go higher than level 5 drunk, so drinking a level-5 drink while sitting at level 2 only takes you to level 5, not 7.
So, most people use a level 5 drink (like grog) to max their drunken state to 5, then pop off another every 3 minutes (or use a zoning trick), making the benefit from each after the first 3 minutes/levels.
Therefore, people pay for level 5 alcohol as if they provided 3 minutes toward the title, which is their effective use.

booze used to be and should still be sold for 100g/minute....anymore than that is purely greed on the sellers behalf....which i have noticed the majority of the community has become a bunch of greedy (insert expletive here)s.
HawkofStorms
It should be more then 300g a piece (since it is a level 5 alcohol). Most of the time, people would sell Firewater and equivalent for 450-500.
HOWEVER, due to the MASSIVE oversupply of grog, grog is going down in price for this weekend (simple supply and demand). Most people are picking 400g because it is a nice inbetween from the 300g ("too cheap you noob") or 500g ("rip-off") price. It is also easier to calculate (since 1 stack at 400g = 100k).

Everyone I know who is working on the title has been using a 5-level drink to establish drunkeness and using a 1-level drink every minute afterwards when they're having a drinking session.
