Vodka (Fallout: New Vegas)

Vodka is a consumable item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
Vodka is a distilled alcoholic beverage, made mostly from water and ethanol and then distilled from a fermented substance such as rye, wheat, potatoes or sugar beet molasses. Vodka is an addictive 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, vodka'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 vodka will increase the player's level of dehydration. This effect is also affected by the Survival skill, ranging from +25 at lower levels to +75 at 100 Survival skill.

Vodka can also be used as an ingredient for atomic cocktails, battle brew (Old World Blues add-on) and the Fiery Purgative (Lonesome Road add-on).

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.

Locations
Found in many different locations, most often bars. Including, but not limited to: The Tops casino, Atomic Wrangler Casino, and many other locations.
