Forum:Permanent Alcohol EFF

Hey, I'm new to the whole posting on the forum malarky so I dunno if I'm missing some protocol or something but I couldn't find a page related to this problem.

Quite a while ago I was going around the Tops after taking the presidential suite key of Benny's corpse. I went into the suite and took all the consumables, I was overencumbered so I drank all the alcohol I had - somewhere in the region of 20 different drinks, I've played on a few quests and I'd say at least a week has passed since then in game and I'm still getting the EFF in the pip boy. I had an INT of 7 before so its not having a significant impact on gameplay but there are a few INT speech checks that I can't pass cause I'm one point off. Does anyone else have this problem? If so is there a way to fix it?

Well if you drank 20 you must have alcahol addiction. Go see a doctor and ask to get rid of addictions.--Radiated Raider 01:21, December 18, 2010 (UTC)

It's not an addiction. its the alcohol EFF, not alcohol addiction. Curing addictions doesn't work anyway. 86.40.19.251 01:43, December 18, 2010 (UTC)

 * Go to sleep to get rid of the effects.


 * What Lordvader said, but you may have to sleep for a week straight. If you just want to remove the INT penalty, you can recruit Cass and carry on without problems. My current build actually abuses alcohol's long duration with Day Tripper + Chemist + 100 survival and Cass as a companion. I have a near-permanent alcohol EFF like you do, only +6 DT, +3 STR/CHA, and no penalties at all due to this combination of perks. 52 DT is nice to run around with. 24.27.46.248 20:58, December 19, 2010 (UTC)
