The game should have alcohol

[Kozh]

Clearly, imbibing alcohol is meant to be seen as commonplace in Eorzea, but Square Enix has gone out of their way to avoid portraying the Warrior of Light in partaking for some reason. If they don't want to force that upon the player, that's fine, but it's weird that they don't even give us the choice -- even in some niche consumable item. I would even support them deciding that alcoholic drinks don't give any sort of benefit to stats, or even the xp buff, just to allay fears that the game is "glorifying" alcohol in some way.

The reason for that is because canon wise, our WoL has ptsd over drinking poisoning. Aside from msq they only drink with Giott (healer role quest), and perhaps the dwarf beast tribe (i don't really remember if we did).
If you want to do it for some sort of rp, I guess using consumable foods is close enough.
