Are drinks even good?

[DerBoora]

Like they give me movement speed but less gold gain or less luck or something why do people use them?

btw when i find a barrel of a drink in a dungeon,will my character automaticly use that drink or just pick it up for the town?

[Muffinslop]

yes

[Endy]

Yes they are good.
You can create pretty op buffs with them but ofc you get a debuff (that wont hurt you at some point)
If you find them in dungeon nothing changes for thet run. They are just sent town.
So always pick them up.
Some of them are crap and should never be used but some are pretty strong

If you find the barrel in the dungeon, you don't drink it, it just gets unlocked in town (or added to your supply)

If your supply in the tavern reaches 0, you just pay for drinks instead, you can always take them.

If you find a drink in the arena, you DO drink it immediately.

Oh I did not know about the arena but thanks for that info.
One drink that is good for building your town (+100% ore -75% gold )
Get your town hall to tier 4 and fountain to tier 2 quick.
You can adjust the difficulty to even out the gold loss by simply disabling something you probanly wont use in the "early game" like having traders in the dungon and get a huge bonus on hold and xp for just that.

They are game - breakingly good. Really wish that they were nerfed quite a bit, but the game difficulty is now built around having them.

What are the best drinks and whats their effect?

wicked sickness + frenetic eruption + crazy eye + incendiary demise makes the game pretty easy for a while.

also probably worth linking bweek's sheet, as it's great

pretty much all of bweek's stuff is pure gold https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxX1PanBZkT7amrC5pjCnGQ

drinks are awesome. there is 1 drink that gives you -0.4MS but it gives you 50% more xp. combine that with a drink that gives 0.4MS while reducing your gold income with 25% and comebine that with a drink that gives you 100% more gold income but removes your hp regen. you just got yourself some free xp and gold for the cost of not having any hp regen. this removes hp regen from items you find aswell. food and a high lvl potion is all you need tbh

Could also ignore the 100% more gold for no hp regen and instead use the fountain to get gold increase and even more xp gain.
