A Player fulfilling the Bartending Duty may Try To Sell any Drink e owns to any Player for any amount of Tildex. That player buys and drinks that Drink for the specified amount with a probability of BAC / 2(TildexCost) where BAC is equal to the BAC of the Player the fulfiller of the Bartending Duty is Trying To Sell the Drink to, and TildexCost is the number of Tildex the Player fulfilling the Bartending Duty is Trying To Sell the Drink for. After a Player has Tried To Sell four Drinks, the Bartending Duty becomes Waiting. If a Player drinks a Drink that causes em to have a BAC of 7 or more while the Bartending Duty Requires Attention, the Bartending Duty is not triggered. There is no Reward for the Bartending Duty.

A Player fulfilling the Hapless Friend Duty may not take any other Actions of any sort for the remainder of the Checking Period in which they fulfilled the Hapless Friend Duty. A Player fulfilling the Hapless Friend Duty must Take Home any Blacked Out Player. Taking Home a Player entails returning em to a state of Sobriety. The reward for the Hapless Friend Duty is up to 75~ of the Player so returned's Tildex, up to 3 of eir Drinks, and up to 30 of eir points. 

I do not understand either of these duties. First of all, they
aren't actually duties: that is they don't need to be done to
keep the game running. It looks like they actually define new
actions.

Rather than a Duty, these should be in the Drinking rule: "A
player may attempt to sell any Drink e owns to any Player when at
least one Player has a BAC of 7 or more...". And shouldn't it
just be the drunk player who is forced to buy it with probability
BAC/ 2(TildexCost)?

The second one is strangely worded. Do you mean that to perform
the Hapless Friend Duty, you need to make the drunk guy sober?
There's currently no way of doing that. How does one "return a
Player to a state of Sobriety"?

Also, I don't think a Perk to one Player can take things from
another Player.
