When drunk...

[Raggy]

This description competely baffled me. "I can get drunk in Angband?"

It was only by accident I drank one of those, and you don't have to get drunk to drink one

So it was only by accident I don't have to get drunk in order to drink said potion

So you drank it?

Is this a case of art reflecting life?

In any case, since the actual command is 'quaff' why not use 'quaffed' in the description, "when drunk" just sounds kinda clunky.

There are (or maybe were) potions which have an effect when thrown, and I think the "when drunk" was added to make it clear.
