You might wanna make Duke a tad more buff (ie making his arms and legs bigger), but at least you are getting you anatomy skills right.
But what I do believe is that the beer is just a power-up like on any other game (such as the steroids on DN3D), so you're making a big deal out of it. I mean, I dunno if this is what made you feel that way to DNF, but what else were you expecting?
