Flavor is added by saying -1 DX/-1 IQ is just being tipsy, while increasing levels of intoxication begin to make a person unsteady on their feet if they move too far too quickly. In other words, they can stagger a short distance, but push it too far and they risk face planting on the floor. Hangovers are reflected in that a person who fails five saves and passes out might wake up after 8 hours (perhaps partly forced unconsciousness and partly trying to sleep it off) and still be at -3 DX/-3 IQ. They have a doozy of a hangover that will slowly wear off every four hours of the next day. If they are desperate to succeed in some dextrous task the next day, such as working a job or fighting a duel, they may be tempted to try folk remedies to cure a hangover. It’s up to the GM to rule how well those work. Trying the “hair of the dog that bit you” would only help if you rolled a critical success against a drink strength of 3D6 or higher, which would reduce DX/IQ penalties by +1. Of course, if you fail such a strong intoxication roll, you’re getting tipsy again and only making things worse! I’m glad you like the rules and will find them useful. Enjoy responsibly! Or not, hehe.

Re: Effects of alcohol
In the most up-to-date version of my intoxication rules, I have added subheads, so it should be easier to find the paragraphs on hangovers and sobering up. Of course, if I failed to include a rule you would like to see or you don’t like what I wrote, then feel free to “house-rule” my house rules. They’re “open source”! Here is the link to Flankspeed’s unpatented:
