Roistering is to [[quaffing]] what Defcon Three is to Defcon Two.

It is a deliberate escalation of an evening spent in a [[pubs|pub]] into reckless practical joking, hinting at the existence and then the resolution of old grievances, and dirty looks exchanged, until a tiny little spark can set off a good old roister. Roistering is the reason why [[the Mended Drum]] has been mended so often. This sort of roistering is an exclusively male activity.

The female equivalent of roistering has been described by [[Fred Colon]] and [[Nobby Nobbs]] as '''minge drinking'''. This is an arena where the weapons employed are - mainly - cerebral rather than physical, although any drinking session involving Watchwomen such as [[Sally von Humpeding]] ([[Vampires|vampire]]), [[Angua von Überwald]] ([[Werewolves|werewolf]]), and [[Cheery Littlebottom]] ([[Dwarfs|dwarf]]) is likely to have its moments of interest. Add in other identified policewomen such as the redoubtable [[Precious Jolson]] and a honorary copper such as [[Tawneee]] (well, the Watch girls accept she has to don a police uniform occasionally in her own trade and are inclined to be generous about this), and interesting event of a hopefully sub-lethal sort will no doubt follow.
