Hi,
I'm researching this class a bit and noticed something interesting from the wiki:

This seems to be a lesser equivalent of a barbarian's rage, but why doesn't it stack with +STR items or consumables as rage does?
From level 1 a drunken master's body handles alcohol differently from other people's. He can drink a large tankard of ale, a bottle of wine, or a corresponding amount of stronger alcohol in a single round. Every bottle or tankard of alcohol he consumes reduces his Wisdom by 1-3 points, and increases his Strength by 1-3 points, depending on the strength of the alcohol. A drunken master may benefit from a level of drunkenness equal to his class level (max +10 strength), but he is not allowed to go lower than 6 wisdom. The duration of both the penalty and the bonus is 5 minutes. The duration is renewed with every bottle drunk, but the master will gradually sober up as the alcohol leaves his body. (If the drunken master is immune to ability loss then the drinks have no effect). This effect doesn't stack with Strength bonus from consumables or magical items.
