^^I agree |
| Wrongness #304995 1 year ago |
I try to think real hard about the questions before I ask them. Now I need a new one. |
| dragonSpike #304998 1 year ago |
Maybe if we could ask ditzy questions :V |
| Wrongness #305043 1 year ago |
Spike helped me with my next question :p |

For the last time... PONIES CAN'T GET DRUNK!!! |
| Wrongness #305077 1 year ago |
We reject your reality and substitute our fanon. |
| Wrongness #305095 1 year ago |
Also prove it. |

I thought there was a thing where Equines get a little tipsy from apples that have sat in the sun too long. |
| Drasvin #305118 1 year ago |
@Neferius In theory they could just not by normal alcohols. Being drunk is basically being in a state of being poisoned by a central nervous system depressant. Alcohol doesn't kill people that get drunk because we can metabolize those poisons before they can kill us. So to get drunk ponies you just need a substance that can poison a pony by depressing(slowing) the central nervous system but will be metabolized before it can kill them unless taken in excessive quantities. |

Is that supposed to prove ponies can't get drunk? because what I get from that is that it is socially unacceptable to get drunk in Equestria. Which implies that it is possible for them to get drunk. |
| Neferius #305182 1 year ago |
@Drasvin Yeah, but Ponies are essentially herbivores.
And herbivores have a much more robust immune-system that allows them to metabolize most plant poisons and toxic by-products which result from digesting plant-matter. Toxic by-products such as Alcohol for instance. So unless that's pure ethyl alcohol they're drinking, there's no way they'd be drunk. But here's another opinion on the mater: http://au.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100527204902AA8dsuq Plus, I just don't think it's a good ideea giving intoxicants to Pinkie Pie O.o |

@Neferius: Quiet you. You're ruining it for the cool kids. |

(Expectin' "Margaritaville", eh?) |
| Drasvin #305255 1 year ago |
@Neferius That is true. Just means that any booze made for the purpose of getting drunk (as opposed to preservation or ease of transport) in Equestria and surrounding lands isn't strictly plant-based. Maybe produced by magic (which means it could circumvent just about any rule the writers want) or it could have some mineral components (maybe a draconic brew made from 'fermenting' gemstones?)
And I don't think giving intoxicants to Pinkie Pie would necessarily be bad, provided they're depressants, since that should mellow her out some for a bit. Though I agree stimulants and hallucinogens would be very, very bad to give to Pinkie. |
| Skoon #305305 1 year ago |
I would like to point out that ponies cannot talk, do magic, fly, build things, or construct empires either.
Realism needs not be here. |
| Drasvin #305380 1 year ago |
@Skoon True, but realism is a good starting point for exploring concepts that have not been explicitly stated by the show or those that work on the show. Like pony metabolism. |
| Skoon #305586 1 year ago |
@Drasvin: It is also, apparently, a good starting point for party poopers to bring the rest of us down. :P |
| Azreck #305638 1 year ago |
@Drasvin
Of course They could always get some marula brew from Zecora http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5E5TjkDvU0 |

Pony metabolism? Can a pony in real life eat as many cakes as Pinkie Pie does? When they were making cakes for the princess it seemed like she never stopped eating. =p |
