Darn. I play 3.5 and I was really hoping I could make a boozehound warforged wizard...

If they're immune to poison, they cannot get drunk.

You could play Unknown Armies and run a Dipsomancer, enabling you to warp reaility by being drunk...
Though you probably couldn't get away with being a warforged in that case.

Also, some have noted that the "Drunken Master" prestige class causes the character to treat alcohol intoxification differently to other players. Perhaps you could justify it though similar means, creating a "Drunken Magi" prestige class that produces wild and explosive effects the drunker you get.

Then again you could say it's an imagined response. Your Warforged is convinced it's getting drunk, even if it knows it shouldn't be able to.

Also of course, you could say you're an experimental inebriation-capable model created by an eccentric forge operator who wanted to see how wide a variety of human experiences he could build into warforged. (Your forge-siblings include a chain smoker with no lungs, an all-you-can-eat-restaraunt's nightmare who has to bring a bucket to act as his stomache and one with an... unnerving belt-slot attachment.)

City of Stormreach mentioned a kind of oil that can make warforged "drunk" and probably addicted. I can't recall the name. But if you look at the book, look for a tavern that serves warforged as a major customer population, you should be able to find it.

This sounds like the best way to go.

That's one of the few Eberron books I don't have. I'll look into it though, maybe drop by my local gaming shop and take a glance through it. I might even buy it today if the price is right...

City of Stormreach I think is a book really worth having. This along with Dragons of Eberron and Secrets of Sarlona are so far my favorite books of Eberron

Just say that byshek (or any other material, like diamonds or psi crystals) have a strange influence on a Warforged magical metabolism (they are "living constructs" and they have things close to organs, i believe it says so in the Races of Eberron book), if your DM agrees.
