🧠 Strategy Snapshot
"If the Dealer has Beer but doesn't use it, he likely KNOWS the current shell is Live (and wants to shoot you)."

Technical Deep Dive: Beer
🔬 Technical Analysis
Beer advances the shell array pointer by +1 without triggering any 'On Fire' or 'On Damage' events. It completely bypasses the risk of a Live round. Note that if the Beer ejects the last shell, the round ends immediately.
🧮 Math & Impact
Beer is a 'Volatility Reducer'. It removes variance. Statistically, you should use Beer to skip 'Unknown' shells when the count of Live rounds is higher than Blanks, effectively dodging a likely bullet.
Advanced AI Behavior Breakdown
The Dealer uses Beer purely defensively when his 'Confidence Value' is low (i.e., he doesn't know the shell). If he *knows* the shell is Live (via deduction), he will never drink Beer; he will shoot you instead. Therefore, an unused Beer is a tell that he knows something. Understanding this behavior is crucial for high-level play, especially when trying to reach the 1,000,000 score achievement.
⚠️ TRIVIA & KNOWN BUGS
There is a strict hard-coded rule: The Dealer will NEVER use Beer if only 1 shell remains in the shotgun, regardless of whether it is Live or Blank. He considers it a waste.
