While skimming over a few of the runs on the leaderboard I noticed about 100% of them rely heavily on energy drinks and beer, and while I commend that lifestyle I think it would be a really neat way to spice things up by removing the ability to be able to drink from these runs. I think No Drinks could be a challenging but fun addition

Self-limitation like these are indeed a cool way to play a bit differently and it may suit your playstyle more, you are welcome to submit runs with self-imposed challenge! As for creating a whole new category for it, if more members of the community thinks the same we may implement it ! A drinkless full game category is fine because we can just put it in misc. and it wouldn't take too much place, but for individual levels it would take too much place I feel like, there's future pretty cool category we may implement like Pacifism which is made for individual level, etc.

I don't know what are people thought but I feel like if you did a drinkless run of the demo we could create the leaderboard for!

I like the idea of having drinkless runs, we were just talking recently about adding other categories to the leaderboards, but yes something to consider is how it would affect the leaderboard or other categories, we don't want to have too many categories but I believe that in the near future we should try to something for a new category, it's just a matter of what makes the cut.

I agree with Patatoes about waiting to see if others also like this idea, the more demand for any particular category makes it much more likely that it could become an official one eventually, I think a solid new category for any game should be to stray away from the "normal" playstyle or by doing something unique or just silly, this drinkless idea does make for an interesting run, you've got my vote, but I'd still want to wait to see if anybody else wants this to be a thing, or if anybody brings up a different idea for something new.

Also Noras, I like the way you phrased that post, got a laugh out of me!
