Thought of the day: imagine that manifesting an effort takes as much effort (hehe) as sobering up. Or even worse, since such a relatively easy task as sobering up involves groaning, grimacing and just looks like a strenuous activity in general, certainly no matter of snapping one’s fingers, like in the absolute majority of fics out there.
And changing an effort is not just purging alcohol from your body, it’s like growing an extra limb. I mean, look at them, or even better if you go to this part of the episode and listen to the sounds they make. It looks and sounds… hard.
Add to this the fact that they can get drunk at all and that Crowley can’t change his eyes to human ones completely. It leads me to believe that their human bodies come with limitations and isn’t it delightful? Makes it all much more interesting, I think.
On the other hand, we have Crowley easily travelling through phone lines, but I personally see it as a specific demonic perk, since Hastur can do the same.
