My death knight capitalizes on the pain addiction. He's a rather pacifistic character otherwise, preferring to stay well outside of factional and racial conflicts, and instead devoting his life to research and the pursuit of knowledge.

He tries to cover his withdrawal symptoms with alcohol - with amusing results - and more successfully with an alchemical potion of his own devising. Unfortunately his guild leader thinks he's a drug addict because he is always sneaking sips of potions.

I really loved how Death Knights played mechanically, but roleplaying one has been incredibly fun and rewarding.

That sounds fine enough to me, but I do want to remind people of a slightly obscure bit of lore. If you've never seen it, look up the ingame book 'Guide to the Side Effects of Reanimation.' It's a fun read, and you can find it laying around Acherus if you would prefer to find it rather than look it up online. But, more to the point, it includes this line, "Alcohol is simply not the same. My apologies." What I took away from this is that death knights cannot feel the effects of alcohol. Death knights do of course eat and drink, as proven in Corpulous' Mess Hall Rules, so I normally just have mine order a mug of water, as a joke more than anything.
