Ah now we get to a difference in play styles. My players play to have some fun, drink alcohol and eat pizza, and slay chaos. Its beer and pretzels with a lot of background because we are all old and have been playing these silly games for 20+ years.

We dont discard them as if a sheet of paper, but (through the alcoholic and pizza induced haze) grow fond of them and and like to recall their glorious (and ignoble) acts. Over time it becomes quite fun.

If for some reason the game shifts to new grounds where the alcohol is different (and they have thick crusts with extra cheese) then it isnt the players fault, so why shouldnt I molly coddle them.

I was actually seeking ideas on how to do it, rather then seeking rigid wisdom that says "no way!" YGMV!!!

I wasnt so much complaining as looking for ways around it. Many apologies, I am less than a worm :-)
