10 Pointless Video Game Mechanics Nobody Used

It is a bit of a laugh to drink your character into oblivion and watch them stumble around for a while, but what is the actual point of being able to do so in a game? Games like Red Dead Redemption and GTA have the ability to drink, but beyond making the screen blurry, there is nothing to it.
