This is for adding a drinking animation to any cantina patron who wants to actually have a drink in there characters hands, sipping or guzzling their drink with a /sip and a /guzzle action command. There is already a Bartender in each cantina (NPC city and some Player Cities), and the NPC city Bartenders sell drinks, albeit without stats. I'd love to actually buy a drink from the NPC bartender, click on the drink in my inventory, and it equips like a weapon. During your stay at the cantina, you can drink your favorite beverage and watch the entertainers, musicians, and dancers to your hearts content.
I'd love to actually tell a friend, "Hey, meet me at theed cantina for a drink, then we can hunt some rebels" or "Wanna grab a glass of tatooine sunburn while I buff your mind?". wouldn't any of you?
I know it would require some additional coding and some new animations, but I'd think it would add immersion, if you think drinking wasn't in star wars, check out the cantina scene from A New Hope.
/sign if you want, not like it will hurt or anything.
So, a short review of what i'm proposing:
1. A drinking animation for cantina patrons
2. A /sip and a /guzzle command, adding the subsequent animations
3. Equiping NPC city bartender-purchased drinks like weapons, showing the cup in the characters hand.
***NPC city bartender drinks DO NOT have any special effect and no boosted stats***
I'll /sign first.

First, I think this is a great idea, and I support it's implementation. It is, after all, a tad odd that we have many bars on the plantets yet nobody is actually seen enjoying a pint. The only thing I could see SOE disliking is the actual act of having an avatar drink something in a bar may endanger their 'T' for teen rating of SWG. I'm not familar enough with the ESRB's system to say if such speculation is warranted, but it's possible.

hmm good point, although killing people is represented in swg quite frequently lol
i haven't seen any in-game mention of alcohol, but there are in-game mentions of drugs, seen as 'spice'.

Jawa beer.
And sure, I'll /sign. Though there are still a lot of other core issues I'd like to see fixed first.

It's the subtle details that make a game enjoyable, and this would be a great addition to the game.

Beautiful idea, but it wouldn't require all that much more coding...take a look at this:

I used to have an animated one assembled from multiple screenshots, but this shows it well enough.

This would be awesome. It should also be somehow implemented for player cantinas. People need to use cantinas other than Theed, Coronet and Dathomir Outpost.
