Henrietta's is the new bar, just recently opened, boasting a collection of new and imported beer, light snacks and main meals, served all day. What gets you though, as you enter the bar, is that it seems just like any other. Dark corners for those shady deals, tables and chairs for the civilised few, a small dance floor in the centre, waitresses and table dancers. Yep, those small town bars sure know how to break the mould don't they?

Apparently named after the owners wife, you mosey-on up to the bar thinking that a small drink would go down nicely around now.

At the bar, you can order a multitude of drinks, food and just sit and relax. Or you can use it as a meeting place to conduct those slightly shady deals...

Algae and Synthi Beer:
Algae and Synthi beer are two names for the mass produced beers and lagers that are made with vat grown hops and algae. Not half as nice tasting as the original products, but relatively cheap for mass consumption. Algae and Synthi beer come in low strength 'lite' versions for those who prefer their beer a little weaker than the rest.

Real Beer:
Real beer is a new brand of beer produced by the Trans Time corporation. They claim it's the next best thing since proper beer, and so far a lot of people are agreeing with their claim. Funnily enough though, Trans Time refuses to comment on the secrets of their recipe, and no bottling plant has yet been found. The only thing stopping Trans Time getting more of a monopoly on the drinks industry is the high cost of the beer. Real Beer does come in a lite version.

Imported Beer:
Imported beer is for those who like their drinks a little stronger than the average, and slightly different tasting. While still made from algae and synthetic products (as normal), it appears that blights, war and other natural (and not so natural) disasters haven't stopped the Europeans from losing their touch when it comes to producing beers. Unlike North American beer, imported beer doesn't come in lite versions.

Drinking too much:
Drinking and driving is bad. But, some people do it anyway. But drinking and duelling is even worse. Drinking destroys your coordination and accuracy, both of which are essential if you want to keep your life.

There are three stages to intoxication.

Merry: Being merry means that you've had a couple over the limit, but itŐs nothing serious. You can still stand and talk almost coherently as well.
In game terms, you suffer a -1 to your base HC, and a -1 to all Driver and Gunner rolls.

Drunk: If you're drunk, you shouldn't be driving. You can stagger around a bit, but your coordination sucks and so does your speech.
In game terms, you suffer a -2 to your base HC, a -2 to all Driver and Gunner rolls, and in addition, all manoeuvres are made at a +1 difficulty modifier.

Plastered: Oh dear. Can you stand? Can you find your keys? Do you know who you are, or where you are?
Provided you can find your car, not set off everyone's security alarms and AP grenades, open your car door and start the thing, you're at the following penalties. You suffer a -2 to your base HC, you're at -4 to all Driver and Gunner rolls. In addition, you gain no benefits from those skills (so you're treated as if you're +0 in your skills), and finally, all manoeuvres are made at a +3 difficultly modifier.
