Jeremiah Payson is the c.ockroach vendor in Undercity.

Comment by twenty8twelve

Link from the Alliance quest Fool For Love directs you to this Horde quest (which is incorrect).
The Alliance counterpart can be found here: http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?achievement=1279

Hope this helps :)

Comment by Unagieater

Do you actually have to be smashed to complete this? (In the game..)

Comment by Spidercow

Im thinking about the line "You'll regret it in the morning." hopefully something funny will happen the next day like getting a mail or a debuff or something :P

Comment by tarunloko

I completed this achievement today
I got comepletely smashed used a Perfume Bottle which i had from last year and my Bouquet of Red Roses which i also had from last year and did a /kiss to him and it worked
and yes i did regret it later

Comment by Dekieon

Obviously this title pertains to the Molly Hatchet song Flirting with Disaster

Comment by Oberscht

I will just quote this comment from the Alliance counterpart of the achievement:
Why does everyone always think these are song references? "Flirt with disaster" is a figure of speech meaning to tempt fate, and it's been around for quite some time.

Comment by Kabby

You must use perfume; cologne does not work.

Comment by Derza

Where can I buy some alcohol in Undercity? The innkeeper doesn't sell any there...

Comment by Mmootimus

If you do all the world events, and like to hold onto items, then you may well have a - http://www.wowhead.com/?item=37128

... in your bank, which is a rather neat way of getting the drink you need for this achievement.

Comment by hordegasm

vendors on the travelers mount sell booze.

Comment by Acku

If you're looking for booze in UC, the easiest way is to mount up on your Traveler's Tundra Mammoth. The female vendor sells booze.

Comment by Legendary231

If you still have it from the last two years, you can also pop open your Brewfest Pony Keg to get smashed. This will also allow the people nearby to get the achievement with it.

Comment by grizz

http://www.wowhead.com/?item=35937 works for this. On use it makes you completely smashed, and then as soon as the on use wears off, you are fine. Not sure how many people kept it though...I did simply for the unique on use.

Comment by bagley

While the Lunar Festival is still going on, you can go up to the throne room in UC and buy some moonglow to get completely smashed.

Comment by Scrootch

The Bouquet of Roses from Utgarde Keep can be used as an alternative to the Handful of Rose Petals.

Comment by Kajira

Dear Horde,

We win.

(At least our guy smells like pies.)

Love, Alliance.

Comment by rowanr

You can purchase 5 perfume for 1 http://www.wowhead.com/?item=49927 from any of the love is in the air vendors. Get completely smashed from any alcohol, use this perfume (NOT cologne from same vendor, there are 3 of each), shower him with flowers and finally /kiss him for the achievement. Easy!

Comment by RepheX

Pretty simple achievement -- I bought some in Dalaran, then , which you can buy from any of Love is in the Air vendors -- I bought it in Undercity, the vendor is located close to the Ruins of Lordaeron.

Drink a few brews, and cast the Rose Petals at him -- /kiss

You'll regret it tomorrow...

Comment by hellomynameis

Perfume from last year wont work, I had to use "Forever" Perfume / "VICTORY" Perfume / "Enchantress" Perfume. Might have something to do with me beeing Alliance last year, not Horde, and therefore not the right one for Horde, I dont know. But I had to spend some rose petals and some drinks to find out, hope you dont have to spend 10mins on this achi.

Comment by shadowrion

Comment by Koviko

Hi, my name is Jeremiah Payson and I've had the CRAZIEST week.

Comment by Onijitsu

I find it slightly disturbing that, in order to get the Love is in the Air achievement and, thusly, the What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been achievement for the violet proto-drake, I -- a distinctly hetero orc -- have to kiss an undead %^&*roach vendor.

What's next? This is definitely a trip.

Comment by kipperlugs

The innkeepers in UC and Brill do not have any alcoholic beverages for sale, only mana drinks and food, and if there were ever "barmaids" in those places, they appear to have been taken out. Unless there is another place besides the inn to buy booze in UC, be sure to bring some with you. Who knew UC was in a "dry county?"

Comment by GarudaTX

hmm did everything and it isn't working...

Comment by sporctacular

Since Love in the Air coincides witht the Lunar Festival, you can buy 30 or so Moonglow from Lunar Festival Vendor. Purchase the desired perfume and Handful of Rose Petals from Lovely Merchant. Conveniently, these vendors are all clustered together in the Ruins of Lordaeron throne room just outside the elevators leading down to Undercity. Once you have all the required items, go down into Undercity to Jeremiah Payson, who is located underneath one of the sets of stairs under the central bank. Drink until you are completely smashed, spray on some perfume, use the petals on Jeremiah Payson, and then /kiss him. Voila! You have successfully completed "Flirt with Disaster."

Comment by Kongolo

just in case anyone have have the same issue as i did.. from wow offical forums

http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/1679478190

PS: target the vendor the type/past the script

Comment by Laujoe

Comment by Peacemoon

Tried today, has to be Perfume. Did not work with cologne.

Comment by redhorse59

LOL... to funny : ) Keep me laughing Ally !

Comment by VinSaniT

Takes 5 Jugs of Bourbon to get completely smashed. I bought them from The Stonefire Tavern in Ironforge.

Comment by Rooster

Alcohol buisness in The Undercity isnt very fortunate due the lack of people with an actual blood circulation in their body....just sayin'.

Comment by Problimatic

So for this achievement I must get completely smashed, put on some perfume, throw some flowers at a cockroach seller, and then blow him kisses........
The things I do for 10 achievement points.......

Comment by Heatron

If you're doing it during the lunar festival you can use Moonglow. It took me almost 20 Moonglow, but they're cheap.

Comment by androjeans

as of patch 4.0.6, 2/14/11 ~7am CST, 5 Jugs of Burbon will get you completely smashed, but there is a graphical debuff I didn't bother trying to figure out how to get away from and it's kind of annoying, so do this right before you log for the day/night/wtfever.

I just did this. I used the Handful of Rose Petals on him, /kiss 'd him, forgot I had to be drunk, got speed drunk off of the 5 Jugs of Burbon, petals still falling, /kissed him. Nothing. Then I remembered reading something on someone's post that said you needed to have perfume on. The flavor text alludes to this, but it's not actually a requirement, I don't think. Threw some more roses and /kissed him again. Still nothing. /kissed him about 4 more times and then I open the achievement tracker and look. I had credit for the kiss whilst drunken but not for the petals. So I threw some more petals and *BAM* for no real good reason got the achievement.

While I happen to be of the opinion that this will be of little use to anyone, hopefully some poor pothead, wow-playing individual will run into a similar situation and this will assist them.

Comment by momratze

Sraaz, the Pie vendor, is running around in circles in Ironforge where the flight master is. It took about 12 Kungalosh to get smashed, then put on the perfume and shower him with the rose petals (both can be obtained from Love is in the Air vendor where you get dailies) and then blow him a kiss with /kiss.

Comment by Gorian

Besides, doesn't a kid who sells roaches need some extra love more than some dumpy pie man?

The Horde - We got the love, for those who deserve it.

Comment by PvPrincess

Comment by mszoomy

just a quick clarification
Make sure that you use PERFUME and NOT COLOGNE!
had a friend make this mistake, hope that saves someone some trouble

Comment by Ebyssius

Alcoholic Moonglow can be purchased for a limited time in from the lunar festival vendor in the ruins above Undercity.
Took two stacks of ten to get me drunk enough to do the achievement.

This is only viable while the lunar festival is overlapping with the valentines day event.

Comment by Djmax

Take your Jin Warmkeg's Brew if you did the quest; it's a wonderful and free way to get smashed for this achievement!

Comment by Gadrinthehunter

...what would you do for a klondike bar?

Comment by radicarl

The "/kiss" part works even if he is dead. The rose petals part will not however... some allies just raided UC... rather poorly too, but they did manage to get this guy and a couple bankers.

Comment by Erimus

Jin Warmkeg's Brew

Is a great option for getting completely smashed. Your friends can use it as well.

Comment by mlowther

I didn't see anyone mention this so I thought I would share. If you have a Mammoth Tundra Mount you don't have to run all over looking for the drink. Your vendor sells an average alcoholic beverage. It takes several to get completely smashed. I am not sure how many because I was half smashed already when I tried this beverage from my mount. It took me back to completely smashed with 2 of them.
