Cool concept.

I like the idea of a stat system for social situation, it's a little and nifty. What is there to stop someone from starting with perfect 1, 6, 1, 6 for their stats though? If you're rolling a 1d6 with those stats, you can't ever lose.

Haha, I see what you mean. Yeah,  that's true. Because I had considered it but thought that if you were maxing one it would require you to place the rest at a minimum but that's not true because two of them require the opposite effect. Alright, well, I'll have to make a few small changes then. I'll take a look at it.

And thanks a ton for the compliments. This is great, I'm already learning how to make the prototype game better

It's all good! As much as i like the concept of some stats needing '= or above' and '= or below', that seems a little confusing, and easier to have the drinking just give you +1 and -1, and all stats need '= or above'. But I also see how that makes things too similar to many other system out there, so there is value to the uniqueness. I've been very excited to see you come up with an original system so of course I want to follow this.

They thanks a ton. Yeah, so I put up the simplest solution, which is just to make everything equal or below. That means it makes you take away from one to give to another, as I meant it to be. But yeah, it definitely makes drinking more complicated and less clean. So I'm gonna think more on this. Game's not broken anymore at least though.

Okay! So I like how Caffeine and Alcohol worked so I updated the game once again. Now this time instead of allocating points, Caring and Cool are tied. As well as Funny and Smart. So basically it's two mini-microcosms if Lasers and Feelings. That makes me feel better, so that's cool.

Next up, I added mention of safety tools in case drugs or alcohol need to be removed from the game if that doesn't fit your group. So that's in there too. Thanks a lot for your help, @usducktape
