	The Orient's bar charges a huge mark-up. However there are side benefits to drinking there which might make this worthwhile: a chance to socialize with the upper echelons of ~~Ikaanan~~ society, and maybe gain esteem in their eyes (in the form of [[Palace Rating]] points). And also the possibility of learning things from interesting people ([[The Player#Science\|Science]] and [[The Player#Academics\|Academics]] skill increases).

	Buying a drink and drinking it takes no time. But each drink affords an opportunity to '''socialize''' with the Orient's clientele, which will take 18 minutes if chosen. Each socialize attempt makes a [[The Player#Charisma\|Charisma]]-based check, which if successful will gain you +1, +2 or +5 [[Palace Rating]] points. However, each drink has a chance of making you increasingly drunk, and drunkenness will progressively reduce your success chance. Your success chance is also affected by your [[Influence]] and by your [[The Arena\|Arena]] fame. And each type of drink affects your chance too; more expensive drinks tend to boost it.
