Don't the rules say to assume any drink not explicitly exposed to not be booze, is booze? That's why I made the aforementioned assumption. -dopeghoti

I think we're coalescing around... we know what it is (milk of the poppy), and from what we know of, it's not alcoholic. I think @jedjackoway's suggestion fits with the spirit of the drinking category in this case (being doped up on an opiate is similar to being drunk), but there could also be some issues with expanding to count drinks of other drugs that "mind alter" in dissimilar ways - for example consider Jaqen's special water that makes Arya go blind, or the Sand Snakes' poisons. -nyan

I thought book specific knowledge was excluded? Milk of the Poppy is basically morphine, but the show has never made that clear. -bookworm13457
