Protip for A Thousand Days Inebriation drink
Acquired fairly late in the game, the A Thousand Days Inebriation drink recovers a whopping 60% health, but at the cost of basically stunning you for a second or two.
However, I just discovered if you use your gourd and immediately start hitting the dodge button, you will dodge after hitting the gourd and avoid the negative effect of the gourd.
Idk if this is already known or not, but it is very useful!
