Yes, here are the rules for getting drunk, some drinks w/
damage codes.  These are homebrew (not mine), and I can't
take credit for them.  Enjoy!

Drinking Rules

Smugglers, pirates and Players love to party like it's 2199.
These rules give you a guideline on how the handle the
mechanics of such a binge.  Following the damage table
below, roll the Stamina or the Hold Liquor specialization, and
compare it to the damage code of the alcohol consumed.
Apply the indicated result and away you go! The damage the
drink inflicts is the proof of the alcohol- IE: Everclear does
more damage than Zima. Also, all drinks are cumulative.
Example:  after drinking a Flameout (2D+1 damage) a
character downs a mug Savareen Brandy (1D damage) so
his total cumulative drink damage roll is 3D+1.

Drink Damage > Stamina Results
0-5             Buzzed: -1D x30 minutes
6-10            Drunk: -2D+2 x1 hour
11-15           Hammered: -3D+1 x1.5 hours
16-20           Wasted: -3D+2 x3 hours
21-25           Plowed: incapacitated, but may be
resuscitated by artificial means. -4D x6 hours
26-30           Passed out: incapacitated, but may be
resuscitated. -5D x8 hours
31+             Alcohol Poisoning: +1 Wound level for
every 5 points damage roll > stamina roll.

After the allotted time has passed, all drinking damage has
been healed and dice lost have been recovered (except for
alcohol poisoning).  However, even though the drunkard has
recovered, the character is still -1D from the hangover and
morning fuzziness. This last for 1/2 the time it took the
character to recover (duration for a hangover from a Wasted
level is 1.5 hours, and so on).  The dice loss applies to
everything- except the Stamina/Hold liquor dice. That remains
unaffected during the drinking binge.

An example-

        Sidney and Jared decide to test their manliness in
a drinking contest. Jared starts slow with a Cloud City
Foo-Foo (+2 damage) and rolls a 18 (with his 6D Stamina)-
he's fine, for now.  Sid (with an 8D Hold Booze), jumps to the
hard stuff right away, downing a pitcher of lum in one
shot. The damage is 16, and Sid rolls a 28- he too is fine.
        Jared, not to be outdone, moves on to the mixed
drinks. He gulps down an afterburner for 17 damage (2D+1,
a 6 on the wild die and the +2 from the Foo Foo), and gets a
28. Sid, goes for the gusto, and slams a Tatooine Sunrise for
35. and he only gets a 28- The damage exceeded his roll,
making him officially drunk.
        For the next round of drinks, Jared detoxifies the
alcohol in his system and watches his drinking buddy. Sid
slams a Starshine Suprize for 44 damage. Sid, with a lousy
roll gets a 18, a 1 on the wild die, and promptly passes out in
his nachos.

anything to eat all day, add 2D to the overall damage aginst
him (Rodian Ale plus Tatooine
Sunburn after not eating= 9D+2).
