Which is why the Mafia doesn't send Dipsomancers to kill people: they
send hitmen.

If I have the obsession skill "Library Research" at 90%, I'm still no
match for a guy with a gun. Why should Dipsomancy be different?
Dispomancers can do all sorts of crazy things that hitmen can't.

See previous post by Kevin Elmore. You may not spend much time with them
in RL, but there are people out there who don't sober up for days at a
time, even while asleep. I submit that a hard-core dispomancer would
fall into this category.
