A Drunk Half-Orc walks up to you and demands to wager money to see who wins a drinking competition at a local Inn. In this scenario how would you determine who would win a drinking competition (alcohol)? The first time this happened in one of my Dungeon's and Dragon's campaigns I would roll the d20 and for the first drink, you must beat a DC 5 +Constitution modifier. Next drink DC 7. Next Drink 10. Next Drink 15. Next, drink 20. Next, drink 25. Next, drink 30. This is an example of what I would do but I wanted to know if anybody else had some methods they wanted to share.
I like doing 3 check contests for stuff like this. For this: CON saves, CON brewer's supplies, then whichever is highest. Who ever wins 2 contests wins.

Never thought of a way like that, I would have to try it out. Thanks.
I would do something like best of three contested Constitution checks, maybe allowing the PC to add deception (they're pretending to drink more than they are), intimidation (staring down their opponent) or performance (they're showboating to throw their opponent off). Each round is a drink and you could make it best of five or seven or whatever, because contested checks are quick.
Also remember that alcohol is a poison so dwarves and high-level monks are *really* hard to drink under the table. ;)
...and to a lesser degree: Stout Halflings - Poison Save Advantage and Poison Damage Resistance (half-damage). My go-to for a Halfling sailor/pirate specifically for that reason only.

I am 99.7603% convinced that the digital dice are messing with me. I roll high when nobody's looking and low when anyone else can see.🎲 “It's a bit early to be thinking about an epitaph. No?” will be my epitaph.
