I mean, usually my #dnd players strongly dislike tracking encumbrance, so the coins might as well be weightless.
Something I think people tend to forget about is the practice of "free lunch". Sit yourself down at the bar, order a drink, and you get access to a whole lunch menu as long as you keep drinking. It particularly makes sense if a pint of beer &/or a single lunch actually costs slightly less than a cp, so two beers would cover the cost.
@Shkshkshk @rpg
I just listed an entrance cost, all drinks included. Sounds like you basically arrived at the same solution.
The beer's gonna rot after a day or two anyway, so it's not like the barkeep really needs to cling to it.
@malin @rpg
Wait, beer rots? Gonna look into this real quick. Sounds like something beer shouldn't do
Edit: Turns out ale was nearly nonalcoholic back then and was viewed the way protein shakes are now
@Shkshkshk @malin @rpg yeah wasn't it basically *just enough* alcohol to make it safer to drink than water?
