"Achieve Euphoria by maintaining a drug-fueled high for as long as possible, because that's how real life works, clearly."

Sobriety is for Suckers is the Big Quest for the Investment Banker (and can also be chosen for Custom Characters).

In this quest, you must go into Withdrawal less than 2 times per floor, less than 6 times per district, and less than 30 times for the entire run.

Super Special Ability[]

While playing as the Investment Banker after completing Sobriety is for Suckers, with Super Special Abilities (Mutator) enabled:

Feelin' Alright makes you euphoric, giving you a bunch of positive status effects. While you have Feelin' Alright, you also gain: Fast, Killer Thrower (Status Effect), Resist Damage (Medium), and Accurate.

This quest is one of the more difficult Big Quests to complete. It requires you to complete levels as fast a possible to be successful. Don't wait around if you can help it.

Teleport as much as you can to save time. G-P-Yesss and Teleport-Happy make teleporting an even better option.

Stock up on cheap drugs like Sugar, Muscly Pills, and Critter Uppers while you can. Drug Dealers become rarer as the game goes on. They are very rare in Downtown and almost non-existent in Uptown.

Cigarettes are extremely useful, cheap and can be bought from Shopkeepers and Drug Dealers. When used, they will freeze the Feelin' Alright timer for 30 seconds. This goes a long way in preventing Withdrawal.

Try to wait until you only have a few seconds of Feelin' Alright left before using another drug to refresh it. In contrast, use Cigarettes immediately after using another drug to freeze the Feelin' Alright timer at 60 seconds.

All the status effects except Dizzy caused by the Shifting Status Effects disaster will refresh your Feelin' Alright timer. You will not need to worry about preventing Withdrawal while on that floor

If you find a Pond with a positive status effect in the Park, you can use it repeatedly to keep Feelin' Alright going. You can also make your status effect Pond by using a drug on a Water Pump.

If you do go into Withdrawal, take a moment to consider when it would be best to use your drugs. While Withdrawal causes health lose and a penalty to your stats, you can't get Withdrawal again while you are already in Withdrawal.

If you don't mind cheating, just play with the Disasters Every Level mutator enabled, and Remove Disaster on all except Shifting Status Effects.
