Also why is it that a silver aura will sometimes flash around me and another character in the room?

If you're near a healer (Triss, Shani, friendly priests) and are hurt, that is them healing you.

And as to your previous question, aside from meditating/waiting it out (There's a bronze talent for it to take half the time):

Wives' Tears
Effects: this potion immediately removes drunkenness, restoring sobriety
without causing a hangover.
Preparation: Wives' Tears are made from ingredients providing one measure each
of rebis, quebrith and aether; strong, high quality alcohol must be used as a
base.
Duration of effects: immediate.
Toxicity: low.

Village witches sell this brew to women whose husbands patronize local inns
too frequently. Witches, lacking mastery of the arcane secrets of alchemy,
usually know only one method of creating Wives' Tears.

Another dumb question: When do I get silver/gold talents?

Silver: Level 15+
Gold: Level 30+

I think I finished the game around level 35 or so, only missing a few quests. Quests give far more XP than random killings, but if you really want to you can farm for a few hours and max your XP.

You can essentially ignore your signs, too. I finished at around level 37 (I think I hit 38 right before the game ended) and didn't use the shield, hex, or pain signs at all. Aard and Igni were useful, but I didn't put any silver/gold into igni at all. Eventually if you get high enough, you'll run out of places to put bronze talents.

And maybe it was just me, but as soon as I started outlevelling the pace of the game (Re: Mid chapter 2) it became ridiculously easy. I had more potions than I knew what to do with (Not to mention sacks full of ingredients to last me a lifetime), not that they were SUPREMLY needed for any real trash-mob stuff, and maxxing out the sword styles just made me an unstoppable killing machine of death and destruction.

Try playing it on hard.

On hard you desperately need potions. On medium potions just make killing easier. On easy you don't need potions at all.

I was actually going to on my next playthrough. I only used potions for bossfights on medium, really. And even then just for like poison resist, knockdown immunity, health regen. I think I killed the Kochkey in like one set of swings. D=
