Alcohol as energy, would it bother players?

[Chris]

Pirates have grog and rum, when you run out of it you can not attack (traditional energy bar). Would such "use of alcohol" in a game be troublesome to players? I should note here that my games have probably more sensitive and probably older audience, strictly moderated communication features with no swearing allowed and generally can be considered family friendly.

I wonder if it is already too much or not yet...

Sure! Nice idea

[Topazan]

Why not?  Grog and rum is thematically appropriate for a pirate game, even a child friendly one.

mabye call it something different

1) It's expected (probably even demanded) that pirate game != rabbits, rainbowns, unicorns
2) Take a look at the Pirates of the Caribbean, it's for kids too and there's tons of drinking
