This might seem like a trivial and strange question, but it occurred to me to wonder as I'm putting together a Leaf Leshy Bard for an upcoming campaign. If the party is all meeting at a tavern, or celebrating at one after a successful adventure, will my character even be capable of drinking with everyone else, and if so does he become intoxicated?
On the one hand, there's nothing in the Leshy ancestry about poison resistance, which is what I would assume would grant immunity to alcohol.
On the other hand, the Plant Nourishment ability implies that I don't even have the physical ability to imbibe food and drink like a normal person would, or at least I don't get any benefit from it if I do.
So now I'm picturing my character getting a drink with his pals, pouring it on his foliage, and then getting sick but not drunk as a result. Is that about how the rules say it would work in this case?

Mechanically, the answer is that yes, you can. Alcohol is, mechanically, a drug and a poison and nothing about being a Leshy makes you immune to either category of things.
You might need to put your roots in it to drink it, mind you (or maybe immerse part of yourself in it if you're a fungus), but plants and fungi do need to consume liquid and thus so do leshies, and according to the rules the intoxicating effects of alcohol do transfer over.
