Why can't Sims get drunk ?

I think we all know by now that the Sims caters to a wider audience than simply children. So they can woohoo but not get drunk or tipsy ? They have drinks but they have no effect ?
This would be epic.

In WoW you get drunk and various other mmos, even in Dragon Age and Mass Effect
The odd thing is in Sims Medieval you couldn't have a drunkard and it was called getting drunk, so I'm not sure why they don't do it here.
2/ the game is rated T for teens, probably why no smoking/booze/drugs
You could drink a whole bottle of the best nectar in TS3 and not get drunk, but the moodlets were still great.

I think it is implied because bars in real life don't usually serve exotic juices. The drinks have similar names to real life alcoholic drinks you can find at a bar.
Also, the rating point is valid but still, alcohol is a common thing in real life, kids are exposed to it in many different ways specially teens even if its illegal for them to drink it. Point is, if they made it so that only adult sims could get tipsy, I don't see the controversy. Alcohol isn't illegal / uncommon.
You squish grapes to make nectar and it increases in quality if you age it specifically in a basement in TS3. Nectar clearly = wine.
What do you think this gameplay implies?
Anyone in their right mind knows what it implies.
OMG you just brought me back ! I LOOOOOVED the Sims 2 and that hookah-like-bubble item.
So true
University Life also brought us keg parties . No real need to guess what that is is there?

KEGS OF ORANGE JUICE NATURALLY

So maybe we have to wait for an expansion :pensive:
HAHAHA I remember this from TS2 but was too young to get the reference.
RIP innocence.
Yes . and as was also already mentioned Nectar would do the same .
> Without a drunkard trait and a sim that's slightly buzzed at all hours of the day, it's impossible to make a completely accurate simself.
I also lament the fact there is no drunkard trait :'(
They had the bubble table in TS3 as well
Yeah, the TS3 bubbler was lame in comparison.
