    ==Originally written Fall 2011== Equestria Daily Post==

    After a long day of ruling Equestria, the Royal Sisters need a chance to unwind. Luna's solution is a few glasses of her once famous Moonshine, a drink distilled from moonlight. Celestia has been sober for a thousand years, but the temptation to have "just one" glass proves too great. Yet, when that one glass turns into several, it's Twilight who will have to deal with the princesses when they’re drunk off their flanks.

    I gotta ask, is it possible for you to write some sort of sequel? Imagine having the entire Mane 6 get drunk, along with Luna, and have Celestia and Spike try to contain them and keep track of them.

    Of all the things you've ever written, Pen Stroke, this is my favorite.

    Watching Celestia flail around in a drunken rampage, all while Twilight tries desperately to find out just what happened to her mentor, is too hilarious for words.  The comedy is really what makes this so wonderful.  I also loved how you kept Equestria's prohibition consistent with the rest of the story.  Twilight has no idea what alcohol is, never expresses any understanding of any terms related to drunkenness, and actually tries to study the problem like she would in the show.

    The ending is also hilarious.  A hangover is bad enough, but man, getting turned pink?  Too painful.

    The only criticism I can offer is that I felt there should have been more Luna.  She is the one that sets the whole plot moving, after all.  If she hadn't made the moonshine, neither one would have gotten drunk.  It's just a shame she spends about half the fic either locked in the library or passed out.  I know this was written just before Luna Eclipsed, but I don't mind if she doesn't match perfectly.  Having both sisters hopped off their flanks around Ponyville would have been even better.

    Still, I love it.  Thanks for posting it here. :pinkiehappy:

    This is great! I love the balance between comedic and dramatic elements you've got here. Celestia taking up drinking after she banished Luna is just too sad for words, and the idea of the entire kingdom shutting down alcohol production to make her stop is really touching. And Drunklestia is hilarious.

    >>495920 Now hang on. The site is pretty popular in its own way. You've gotta give it that. The numbers of fics on it are pretty staggering. The only thing you really have problems with are quality control, trying to find a good fic to read can be a right pain in the ass at times. Especially if you've read through a good portion of a particular category, then it just becomes nightmarish trying to sort through all the crap fics that crop up. But I guess thats a fact of life, with every good thing there's always gonna be something that gives it a bad image or just makes it annoying at times.

    At one point, it says Celestia was "Board" instead of bored. I'll see if I can find it.

    SPOILER ALERT!!!


    Twilight began to get aggravated herself, but did not dare go into the Poison Joke to get Princess Celestia for herself.

    -It is very easy to forget that unicorns don't have to touch things, or even (at least in Twilight's case) get within a hundred hoof-lengths of them to manipulate them. You aren't the first to make this mistake, saw it in another fic where Rarity was measuring a pony that she would literally drop dead instantly if she touched for some clothing.

    Her reflection stared back: a reflection that made her freeze up as her pupils constricted to tiny dots.

    -Let me guess... she turned pink?

    “Princess, why are you taking a bath?”

    -Let me guess... probably trying to wash the pink off... might even work if Twilight has the right bubble-bath(remember Aloe and Lotus were trying to get the recipe) and Celestia recognizes the symptoms, or is lucky enough to grab it... the second seems unlikely if she is frantic to de-pink herself and doesn't know what it is. Actually, from a narrative point of view it seems unlikely that she will succeed before she is seen. It is possible though... she could mention it in a hushed tone to Luna or Twilight. It also occurs to me that Twilight going in wouldn't necessarily be considered bad manners in Equestria. My own fanon is that the non-Granny Smith Apples don't even use their restroom for defecating except when it is cold, raining hard, or they are ill... waste of perfectly good fertilizer. Then again, much as she might often wish otherwise, Celestia IS "high society" and Rarity DID object to Spike coming in when they were getting dressed for the Gala, so Celestia may have a few minutes... unless Luna wakes up nauseated.

    Twilight began before she recounted the events of the previous evening for Celestia. She went through it all,

    -Including specifying what Poison Joke is?

    “I recall from one of your friendship reports that you’ve had an encounter with this particular flower. What were its effects again?”

    -Ah, here it comes.

    while her wings were a strange, equally bright, clashing teal color. Her mane no longer flowed with magic, but instead hung limply, with wide hairs that almost made it look like Celestia was wearing a wig.

    -Ah, the FULL treatment, not just the coat color...
