The Most Broken Thing about this Game

I sometimes find that I will be so wrapped up in chases, hunting, hooking (lol) and other in game activities that I will go for an entire match\trial without taking a drink of my beverage (be it beer, spirits or wine).

Almost every other game I play has almost built in opportunities for me to use at least one hand a grab a quick drink, but there are times when I finish a match and notice my drink is starting to get warm or the ice is beginning to melt because I have had to use both hands to play effectively.

I propose there be a built in 10(ish) second pause (for all players) every 5 minutes or so, so that players can drink more easily while playing.

How am I supposed to get tipsy if I have to wait for the match to end to drink?!? And why should I risk a loss by stopping my play to drink?

And before it is suggested: no, I am not going to rig a camelback or some other device to drink from a straw. I am a grown man!

Behavior, please fix this broken system as soon as possible!!!

    DBD Drinking Setup as Killer: At the end of the round take 1/2 shot for each kill
    DBD Drinking Setup as Survivor: Shot if you survive, 2 shots if you die

    Tried this out last weekend and it works real well :-)

    Play survivor and you will get bored so fast holding M1 with your one finger while drinking that you will have to rush the games even faster next game when you realize you have drunken too much :lol:

    Btw, considering how short the games are in DBD, you can have a drinknig pause after every game.
    If you really feel the need to take a drink while playing killer and cant wait until the game has ended, wait until you have hooked someone and employ the tactic called "camping" while drinking

    Only as solo though, in a SWF it might be too much shots ^^

    True, in SWF maybe you rotate who takes the drinks round to round?

    I knew the wisdom of the forums would come to the rescue! There are a lot of great ideas here to enhance my gaming/drinking experience!

    If you aren't playing drunk by daylight with this setup, are you really even playing?

    Because encouraging alcoholism is a good idea , you should seek rehab buddy considering how minuscule and unethical  your ideas are for entertainment. 

    You must be fun at parties.

    He/she may not realize that if I stop drinking for too long, I get all shaky and start getting sick/nauseous!

    I pretty much HAVE to drink while playing!

    Um... I usually have more than ample time to take sips of my tasty adult beverage. If anything, I'm usually hitting the bottom before I know it and having to get up and get another while I'm in the lobby cue.

    Next thing I know, I'm so numb I can't play the mind games right and I'm missing easy grabs and swings.

    But I'm not the one with the drinking problem here [hic]

    <Wait a minute....that can't be right. Pretty sure alcohol destroys all the harmful bacteria and viruses in my body. Pretty sure I am getting sick because when I stop drinking, the alcohol is no longer killing the flu bugs or cold bugs or whatever that live in my stomach and make me sick! 

    Think about it! Why else would you use alcohol wipes to disinfect stuff.

    It's just science!

    This is what i do, seriously. A lot of time when i'm 'camping' i'm rolling and lighting a cigarette, drinking soda, or eating. More than a few times some brave survivor just ran up and got an unhook because my hands were full.
