Beer (Fallout: New Vegas)

Beer is a consumable item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
Beer is an addictive alcoholic drink which when consumed provides a minor status boost - increasing Charisma and Strength by one while reducing Intelligence by one.

As with most alcoholic item in Fallout: New Vegas, beer's effects (both positive and negative) are altered by the player's Survival skill. With a Survival skill of 100 the player will receive +3 to Charisma and Strength and -3 to Intelligence.

In hardcore mode beer will increase the player's level of dehydration. This effect is also affected by the Survival skill, ranging from +20 at lower levels to +60 at 100 Survival skill.

Beer can also be used as an ingredient for both mole rat stew and Cook-Cook's Fiend stew.

Whiskey Rose
Whiskey Rose is a perk provided while Cass is serving as a Companion in the player's party. With this perk the penalty to Intelligence for consuming any type of alcohol is eliminated, as are the effects of alcohol addiction.
