Wha? They're not computers.
Mark, that article you sent me on the wizards site: "The warforged are made using a blend of materials. The core of a warforged is a frame formed from wood, stone, or metal. Bundles of rootlike fibers surround the core and serve as the muscles of the construct. Plates of steel and wood are fused over this layer of tendrils, forming the hard outer shell of the warforged."
I'm assuming that potions heal the organic parts of the warforged, ie, the rootlike fibers and wooden frame, and whatever else.
So I'm going with 'no,' they cannot get drunk.
But then again, he breathed 'consciousness into metal and stone.' So if the mind is tied to the body, then the warforged can in fact get drunk. Or something like that...

The only real important thing ive learned from this conversation, is that warforged are part wood....which means they burn....which I think gives me leverage in this party.

Actually, warforged don't burn. All the wooden parts are covered by metal. If you want to find the weaknesses of the Warforged, you're going to have to do your own research. And I think I'm going to have to say "no"; because the Warforged are constructs, they do not have a brain chemistry that can be altered, just a steady, fixed consciousness.
Avi, did you think that was my only name? I have numerous names, some of which are made up, while others aren't. I am fully prepared for occasions like those, but I don't play on Giant in the Playground...but I have an account now.

Straight from Keith Baker himself:
Warforged Senses
The warforged possess the same five senses that human beings do: sight, smell, hearing, touch, and even taste. They do not perceive the world in precisely the same way as humans do, and many of these senses are fairly dull in comparison to those of creatures of flesh and blood. But a warforged can smell smoke in the air and can gauge the extent of an injury by the pain that it feels. Many warforged value the magical component known as the tracker mask because it expands their sense of smell, allowing them to experience the world in a new way. But a warforged can still smell strong odors without the mask.
The warforged sense of taste is one of the mysteries of the race. It has little value to a soldier and creature that has no need of food. In fact, this is not something that was designed by the artificers of House Cannith. Warforged are not automatons, and not every aspect of the warforged is the result of human planning: They are creatures of magic that defy natural law. A warforged is a creature of stone and wood, yet it can feel love and hate. Is it any stranger that it should be able to smell and taste?
