Re: When do you drink potions to avoid going blind
ANother thing I tend to do is save each potion until I have two of them.
If You drink two "haste self" potions, you faint from exhaustion, but
(assuming nobody kills you while you're fainted) you are then
permanently hasted!! Which is really nice when dealing with Trolls and Xorns.

PS: I really should figure the probability of that one: I've done it once
or twice, so it's non-zero, and it makes it easy to identify "unlabeled"
potions, but it may be counter-productive in the long run.
