Too much trouble, for a bottle of whiskey

But, the GM is the final arbiter of your game, so there is that.

Indeed there is that, but I don't want to take this sitting down. If he puts an ultimatum on that, then I can't stop him.

I find all your response very extremely funny.... Did you even ask him what game is he playing in before commenting about the gm? I was one of the player in that game. It was not a homebrew but a pfs game. Who is going to help him keep track of how many glasses is drunk.. When he enter another pfs game under another gm... Is it still half bottle? Whos going to know how much is left? I really had a great laugh at ur comments. Thanks..

We could treat it as this module only item and it disappears at the end of the module. Like I said about treating it as having charges, then its easy to keep track of. I could even use an inventory tracking sheet and go to our GM and get his signature for every single glass drunk.

There are ways to handle this, your complete disregard of alternatives is the laughable one.

My gm ruled it as the entire bottle is "consumed", effectively making me lose the entire bottle of whiskey. Citing that there were no bottle caps invented at that time.

I am on the side of it not being consumed entirely but handled like charges in a wand. (Peliminary google search finds the average bottle of whiskey to be 25oz and a whiskey glass being 2oz). Cork as a stopper has been invented since 3000BC, so I don't see why it should even be used as an excuse.

My question now is, how do you handle food and drink consumption in your campaigns? Are there any official ruling on this matter?

Feedback and answers are much appreciated.

On rereading this, can I ask, did sharing the whiskey have any mechanical effect on the encounter? I'm only asking because the phrase "handled like charges in a wand" makes me wonder, and I can't see a GM even caring unless there was something like that going on. At my own table I would treat the libations as role playing, with little no effect on rolls. ("The orc quaffs your peace offering, and enthusiastically begins to whack you with his greataxe, because that's how orcs are.")

Well, I was asking if I could get a +1 circumstance bonus. This was for the first steps module where
