10 Horrifically Illegal Things You Can Do In Rockstar's Games

5. Drink And Drive

Like the rest of the world, your Grand Theft Auto protagonists like to go out to a nice bar and get absolutely slaughtered. In San Andreas, drinking was strictly for dates alone and there were no side effects. Grand Theft Auto IV was the first game where the player's character could get drunk and it resulted in some hilarious moments. The camera sways about as your character trips and stumbles around; the effect worsens depending on who Niko has been drinking with. Naturally, being a GTA game, controversy lies around every corner and it's possible to get into a car and drive while drunk. Niko, being the responsible guy that he is, will remark that it's not a good idea... But will then go ahead anyway. Driving while drunk is incredibly difficult; your vision is compromised and the game will actually steer your car towards the nearest solid object to encourage you to crash. If the police see you in this state, they'll be after you, escalating the situation considerably. The drinking effect is lessened with Grand Theft Auto V although Trevor can often be found intoxicated in various parts of San Andreas when you switch to him. Another of Rockstar's 'heroes' Max Payne is an alcoholic too; I'm not certain that using bullet time while drunk is actually a crime though.

I have an addiction to achievements, a craving for new bands and a dream to become Captain America. I once finished second in a Mario Kart 7 tournament so I'm kind of a big deal.
