Addiction. Ala Fallout.
But make the stuff actually worthwhile to begin with. I should get some pretty crazy boosts from the stuff. Especially Skooma/Moonsugar, but the addiction should be worse. I also wasn't too fond of Fallout's super AA meetings while you sleep. It should at least take a few in game months of time and effort.
And some Races should be different than others. Nords seem to be heavyweights. Make them get drunk slower, for example.
Some kind of counter could work (be it visible or hidden).
Sober - Tipsy - Drunk - Wasted - Passed Out.
It could be nice to wake up randomly when getting to the latter phase, lacking money/items. (Don't go get drunk with 1,000,000 septims) It would be nice for it to be taken seriously, too. While the actual being wasted stage can be as immature (in a good way) and hilarious as it likes, the addiction and what-not shouldn't be.
Could Hangovers work in an immersive way? Perhaps I have lower stats?
