If player one chooses to use the fries the next player will have to choose from the hook, cask, and the new piece that comes up. Pieces are placed in each persons use area at random, so it is best to try to decide which piece a player will use ahead of time. With the new revamped drinking version the piece with the highest value is automatically highlighted for each player; however this does not limit the piece that can be used.
For example: A hook worth 10 points, a keg worth 10 points, and a keg worth 0 points comes up. A player may choose the keg worth 0 points to use on an empty or unstained section of the board. Although the pieces assigned value was 0 the staining of the board gains points, and may also prevent his or her opponent s from scoring.
Mugs , which can be purchased from a distillery , have special abilities which affect gameplay in drinking by providing various bonuses some also have drawbacks.
Only one mug can be used at a time by a player, and a mug must be equipped like a sword or bludgeon to be used or a specific mug type must be set for a tournament. Mugs may have a doubloon cost on the doubloon oceans; on subscriber oceans, some mugs can only be used by players with subscriptions.

If the last piece in the row or column was placed on a square that was unstained, the bonus is doubled.
If two players have an equal number of pieces in the row, such as a three-way game where two players have three pieces and one player has one piece, then the bonus is split between the two players. There are three pieces in the game which have special attributes. The special pieces may also be consumed without using them on the board, though there's seldom a reason to unless you're really desperate to keep a piece out of the hands of an opponent perhaps you can't play the hook or cask but when you play a valid piece the opponent can.
The cask will make you more drunk; the hook does not affect your intoxication level; the fries remove a level of intoxication. The hook can be used to remove any piece from the board and stain the now-empty space with the player's color.

If there are no moves available, or you wish to drink a drink, then click on your head to drink it. Drinks may be placed on the board in a legal move if all of the pieces next to them horizontally or vertically, but NOT diagonally are either the same color, or the same shape, or both.
As more drinks are placed on the board the number of available positions is reduced. Since a placed drink has to fit with all the pieces next to it, it's possible to create situations where no drink will fit. Fortunately, chips which will fit anywhere on the board, and hooks which can remove a trouble piece, will come up eventually.

I will say I think RD overestimates the value of corner and almost-corner openings. For players of equal skill, it really doesn't affect the outcome too much, in my experience.
Besides, the corner fry opening is loathed by many-a player, myself included, as the possibility of ending the game right off the bat doesn't make it a fun move.
As a result, many people who enjoy playing the game, not those who just enjoy winning the game, aren't too keen on it. I'm sure this opinion will be shot down, but hey, it's my opinion. But I certainly understand the argument from the "play-to-win" camp. The last word in life form destruction!
