Forgive me if this has already been discussed, as I've been away from the forum for a bit, but I notice some new text when I hover the mouse over items in the Wines section of my inventory: besides the usual text, there's also a picture of a wine glass next to the word "Intoxicating", followed by a number in parantheses. For example, Greyfield 1879 is "Intoxicating (1)", while my precious vial of Tears of the Bazaar is "Intoxicating (9)". Anyone know what this is about?

I'd definitely chug down a vial of Master's Blood. It'll set me back a bit, but I'm sure the experience would be interesting enough to make it worth doing once.

If I'm not mistaken, the Vespertine storylet that PStrange is mentioning required you to select qualities or items with a quality amounting to 1 or more in "Recognised by the Order Vespertine." So perhaps there will be future stories that require a certain amount of Intoxicating -- getting someone (or yourself) drunk, or throwing a party.
I greatly look forward to seeing if these qualities can be added together -- for instance, having a grand revel that requires you to reach 5000 Intoxicating? Could be 2500 bottles of Greyfields, or... over 500 Tears of the Bazaar. OK, the exponential vs. linear scaling of value doesn't quite work for adding wines together, I suppose. This system works better for "you'll need something REALLY boozey" (7+) or "you'll need a bit of serious tipple" (2+). Interestingly, that latter test would be a good use for Strangling Willow, and a waste of Broken Giant, and perhaps a good reason to go buy some Bottled Oblivion if you don't have any Strangling Willow lying around.
However, I wish they'd kept calling them Aspects. We already have something called Qualities and they're Qualities of us, not of objects! Are we objects too? Will qualities have qualities? Where will this recursion end?!

Speaking of 'lethal to consume', I would have thought that Amanita Sherry would have had at least a little intoxication value. It's certainly alcoholic.

It's certainly not an indicator of each item's tier. Strangling Willow is intoxicating 3 while Broken Giant is 2, and Cellars are 7 while Airag is 5. I wonder what vials of MB are, but I don't have any.

Sustenance. Which makes sense, it's not necessarily alcoholic.

I am now imagining someone attempting to ferment Hesperidean Cider, and what the results might be.
I'm imagining it burning a hole through someone's lodgings and several more floors down a la a certain lecture on unstable compounds. And probably a bit more explosive as well.

Maybe we'll be able to give it to the Apicius Club? It seems like something they'd want to try.

I'm glad I checked the 'Intoxicating' thread before thinking I was the first to notice enthralling!
Reviewing my ill-gotten gains after an item-converting binge (to make waves to recover notability lost buying all the 5-card lodgings), I think I can probably enthrall the crap out of anything that is 'thrallable':

Seems likely. It is definitely not a coincedence that the content that used intoxicating was shortly (relatively speaking) introduced too, after folks first saw the trait, despite it being really used in part two. I feel seeing these traits early is the right call since bugs/errors/glitches can be stomped out before the content that uses it is actually in play.
It's a shame that celebrated and classic short stories were the only ones that made the cut from the short story list, though it does finally give me a reason to make them now instead of bragging rights. My highest is currently Extraordinary on hand. I do find it weird that classic short story is tied with collated research with enthralling 5, since the collated research can easily be obtained with the appropriate carousel versus the tough work put into a classic story. I feel a classic story should be higher, maybe 6 or 7, but that's just me. I hope it's ok to be off-topic, since this was originally about intoxicating, I apologize if it's not.
Well, it is intoxicating, for the mind!

But Tears of the Bazaar is already lethal to consume in a non-physical way (your soul explode)?

Shockingly, Black Wings Absinthe Nouveau is not intoxicating either! Well, maybe that's because it "is so fiercely alcoholic that it evaporates before being swallowed."
Or because it might be unfair for Vake-hunters to have an Intoxicating (8) item automatically

During the first part of Flint, at least one storylet in the house of the Vespertine featured a green outline in place of the storylet unlock quality. The tooltip was something to the effect of "Select a quality or an item with the quality to use here".
I imagine this change is probably to do with that, and we may see similar changes to other items in the future.

I'm just sad I've been trying to colect First Sporings on the side and it's only Intoxicating 2.
Also, anyone going to drink the Viad Of Master's Blood? I don't think there are many people willing to drink up a 1500 Echo item just to see how drunk it gets them.

Send all Vials of M*****s B***d to Snow Belie. Then run, before the Ministry of Public Decency arrests you for being a subject in her "unmentionable" acts.
(No, my main would never do it, although he is around two vials and the the semi-rare card draw away for that trade.)
