Is the drinking horn and flagon just for role-play flavor?

I was disappointed to find that using the drinking horn requires you to first equip it, before you can drink...making it not a good option for quaffing meads while in combat.
Is it just there for roleplay flavor? Or am I missing something?

drinking horn drinks a random potion from you Invtry,, so not a good use of resources. but looks good next to a throne

It's not random; it drinks them in order, top to bottom, left to right and skipping any that are on cooldown.

Yep, roleplay, or decoration if you put it on item stands.

Oh, nice, I didn't even think of putting it on a stand. Gonna do that with the one I certainly do not wish to carry around anymore. :)
Thanks!

I googled this question and the entire first page of results that I got were game guides telling me how to get one.... Useless google.

Mostly RP and decoration. And probably for the occasional challenge playthrough, knowing some people... :P

I haven't bothered with them, but, do they drink pots in turn? If so they could be a quick way to regen and buff without filling the quickbar with pots. Otherwise yeah they're useless.

Yeah, they do; that info did come up in the search I did and it did work that way when I used it; I just was not at all pleased with the delay to equip it while in battle. I tend to wait longer than I should to drink healing/stamina when fighting stuff that's tough, so that delay almost killed me.

Ah. I don't use pots in quick bar, but this could be useful for me. For me if I don't have time to stop and quaff then I'm going to die anyway so there's no point in wasting pots. Now I wish there was a food equiv.

Just rp, and it's a clever use of troll hides, rather than putting them all in the obliviator.
