Drugged wine

Drugged wine is a unique consumable item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The drugged wine is a bottle of wine that has a couple doses of Med-X injected in it through the cork. The result is a wine that numbs the drinker and paralyzed them, as evident from the White Gloves consumption of it.

If consumed by the player the drugged wine acts as an addictive drink which 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, wine'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 wine will increase the player's level of dehydration. This effect is also affected by the Survival skill, ranging from +15 at lower levels to +45 at 100 Survival skill.

Effects of Survival skill

 * Note: radiation levels are not affected by the Survival skill level.

Variant

 * Wine

Location

 * In the Ultra-Luxe Casino Kitchen, during Beyond the Beef, the Courier has the option to drug a bottle of wine, with a dose of Med-X (requires 25 Medicine). Once the White Glove Society head waiter is called down to the kitchen and picks up the dosed wine, you can either pick-pocket it from him (the White Glove Society members will still get drugged) or kill him and loot it.
