Alcohol/Legends

"What say we find a bottle of something borderline toxic, go somewhere private, and then... Y'know... Share our woes." "You're drunk."

- Deena Shan and Luke Skywalker

Alcohol refers to a number of chemical compounds that have intoxicating effects on Humans and many alien species.

Corellians, in particular, were hard drinkers, as evidenced by a plethora of types of alcohol and mixed drinks. However, the average Corellian didn't seem easily impaired by alcohol; some believed Corellians were extremely adept at holding their liquor, whereas others guessed that they only produced and sold the alcohol to other planets, consuming only moderate amounts themselves. Some people even believed that Corellia wanted to get the entire galaxy drunk and then rob it blind.

The Zelosians couldn't get drunk on alcohol, but exhibited intoxication when they ingested sugar.

Many beings, such as the Gran Ree-Yees and the Mimbanite of Mimban, were addicted to alcoholic beverages. Others, like Han Solo after the death of his friend Chewbacca, drank alcohol to drown their sorrows.

Certain alcohols, such as ethyl alcohol, could also be used as a cleaning solution.
