Ummm, this sounds an awful lot like the Mostali & their 'World machine' to me.
Comments, Sandy?

Trolls have enormously more powerfull digestive tracts than humans, even trollkin can digest things that would kill a man. I suspect that trolls can swill down beer all night and not feel anything. To get a troll drunk would require something like Powzie. For those of you who don't remember Powsie, it's on the back of Trollpack, on Thunderbreath Gobbleguts' menu. The list of intoxicants includes Ail, Human Ail, Beer, Powsie and something charmingly named as Leadbrick. Look Out! Drunk Karrg's Son coming through!
