0.0 - Items already in inventory are considered free.
1.0 - Items are valued at their autosell price.
2.0 - Items are valued at current Mall price, unless they are min-priced.
3.0 - Items are always valued at Mall price (not really realistic).
Values in between are interpolated. The default value is 1.8.

int price = retrieve_price(nightcap);
if(price > 30000)
  abort( nightcap+ " is unreasonably expensive, it will be a waste to use it. It is worth " +price );
if(my_inebriety() == inebriety_limit())
{
   if ( !retrieve_item( nightcap ) )
      abort( "Could not make/buy a " + nightcap + " for a nightcap." );
   else
      overdrink( 1 , nightcap );
