Forum:Drinks and food health

Why don't drinks (Sunset's, Nuka's, and drinks you make at campfires) count as food health? I drank tons of drinks for health untill I was level 22, just to find out its not counting. I'm trying to get the achivement for 10000 health from food.173.107.116.37 10:57, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

Because they're liquids not food. Boone123 10:58, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

because its not food like Boone123 said! plus if your on hardcore mode nuka colas and sasparilla dehydrate you, so its having the bnegative effect on your health. - JoshGDC

Then they should give an achivement for drinks. Sunsets give a good amount of health, atleast early on in the game, and there so common, but you don't get hardly any caps for selling them. Since it doesn't count, they shouldn't make them give a decent amount of health. And stuff like bitter drink you make from foods at campfires should count, or I would have just eaten the food to make them, same goes for healing powder. Now the dehydration balances out that Nuka's takes your sleep down. I don't remember if it does with sunsets, but if if doesnt, then there really is no point in having any after you get up there in levels.107.27.236.2 20:50, March 27, 2011 (UTC)
