"Well doesn't really matter if your underage over here," Marc said grinning, "none of us really care! Go on have a drink! Live a little!"
Percy smiled but shook his head, "nah, my mom would kill me if she found out."
"Oh shut up and drink," Galen called out as he walked over to Percy and Marc. He smiled at Percy, "you did good kid, I haven't had a fight fight that good since 1944."
Percy frowned, "you still took in a cheap shot asshole."
Galen threw his head and laughed, "HAHAH! That I did!"
"Come on Percy," Marc said pulling Percy towards the huge party going on, "let's get drunk!"
"How about I just watch you get drunk?" Percy asked as Marc and Galen pulled him towards the partying people. Every crew member there patted Percy on the back congratulating him on a well fought match while one shoved another mug of rum into Percy's arms.
"Drink up lad, these guys don't give up unless you're drunk enough to kiss a fish that looks like your lover!" Galen said smacking Percy on the back.
"But I can't really-'
"Oh shut up!" Marc yelled out as he took the mug from Percy and pushed it onto his lips. He titled the drink and forced it into Percy's mouth.
"CHUG CHUG CHUG!" The rest of the crew yelled out as Percy was force feed the rest of the drink.
The mug was soon empty as Marc threw it to the side helping Percy satay on his feet. "It's good isn't it?"
"My throat kind of burns" Percy coughed out.
"Yeah it does that, you'll get used to it though," Galen said smiling. He gave PErcy another mug and lifted his own, "to Percy Jackson! To only one of you useless lot to actually give me a fight!"
The rest of the crew cheered and lifted their own mugs up. Percy smiled and this time didn't hesitate to drink down his own mug of rum.

Percy shrugged, after all he had weirded skills. He pushed the notification away and enjoyed the rest of the night simply eating and drinking with the rest of the crew who he was quickly becoming close friends with.
The rum flowed freely and the food was very heavy. Percy' throat was burning but luckily Gamer's body and Gamer's mind helped him curb the effects of alcohol until he had one too many drinks and than this message appears;
You are drunk…...Night night!
And after that Percy blacked out. The last thing he remembered was vomiting all over Odysseus's coat.
Morning;
Percy's blinked slowly as he pulled himself up;
You have slept on a very uncomfortable surface; HP and MP have been restored 50% each. All ailments and negative status effects have been cured.
Skill leveled up!
Drinking Alcohol, Lv- 3 (3%)
You will black out after drinking too much. Amount of Alcohol needed to blackout depends on drink.
20% Alcohol tolerance
Percy closed the boxes on instinct with his right hand and noticed that his wrist was all healed now. His head was clear and his body felt rejuvenated. He smiled at the lack of a hangover as he realised his gamer powers must have healed him as he slept. Sleeping did cure all aliment and negative status effects, which definitely included being hungover.
Percy looked around and found himself on the floor of the sailor's quarters underneath a hammock occupied by Marc who was drooling everywhere. Percy felt disgusted as he got up and walked out of the area.
He went to the deck and quickly moved towards the edge of the boat. The sea air comforted him as Percy took a deep breath and let himself relax thinking about what he was going to do. He needed to get to Nassau quickly, if what Odysseus said was true than he would reach Nassau by nightfall giving him plenty of time to search for Argo's base and destroy it.
"Your up early," a grumbling Galen spoke up as h walked up to Percy.
"Yeah it's a habit," Percy said as the Quartermaster leaned up against the railing and picked, "that bad?"
"Worse," Galen replied wiping his mouth and turned to Percy, "you're not too hungover are you?"
Percy shook his head, "I'm not hungover at all."
"What?" Gallen looked shocked.
"Yeah, it's a gift. I can't get a hangover," PErcy replied with a shrug.
"You son of a bitch!" Galen shouted, "you fucking cunt!Do you know what I would do for something like that?! All times in my life that would have been amazing if I was just not hungover?!" Galen shouted and suddenly held his head hissing in pain.
"Headache?" PErcy asked with a smirk.
"Yeah," Galen replied back as he visibly calmed down. He looked out into the sea and sighed, "sorry for ah….you know."
"Hating my guts the moment you saw me?" Percy smiled, "it's okay. I piss a lot of people off at first sight….it's actually a very big problem."
Galen smirked, "well either way I'm sorry kid. It's just that….well you're a child of Poseidon and this crew and Poseidon don't really get along."
"Yeah, I know," Percy replied.
"We have had children of Poseidon be on board before," Galen explained, "mostly just to try and get back in Poseidon's good graces. And all of them have been kind of dicks. Arrogant, annoying and fucking dicks. They treated Odysseus alright but to them we were basically their servants."
"You don't hold back huh?"
Galen smirked, "nope. So when you came on board I thought it would be the same thing all over again. So yeah, I'm sorry."
Percy smiled, "apology accepted. But you know there is something you can do to make it up to me..."
"What do you need kid?"
"Can you teach me how to fight?" PErcy asked putting on his serious face.
"You can already handle yourself pretty well kid," Galen said pointing to his wounded jaw, "you're pretty strong."
