10 Times Drinking Went Horribly Wrong In Video Games

Never try to keep up with the Turians.

In this aside from the second release in the Mass Effect series, whilst on the space station Citadel, Shepard can accept a bartender's challenge to down drinks of increasing strength. Whilst the server is initially impressed with Shepard's attempts, given the alcohol processing limitations of the human body, things do eventually take a turn for the worse, with your hero beginning to lose coherence and eventually consciousness.

Much is left to the imagination as the game reopens to the sight of Shepard being helped to peel themselves off a particularly weathered-looking bathroom floor, avoiding disapproving looks from other alien races. In the grand scheme of things, no lasting damage is done but we have a feeling our protagonist kept his head down around the station for a few days after that.

Shepard's hard drinking habits can be maintained later into the series with a similar situation in Mass Effect 3 resulting in a rude awaking in a lift.
