Beverages

Beverages refers to a class of consumables in the Fallout series that can be drunk, as opposed to food which is eaten. They usually heal a small number of Hit Points or give temporary statistic boosts but have no major drawbacks; alcoholic beverages, however, do run the risk of developing an addiction. Later games like Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 4 introduced the need to hydrate in Hardcore mode and Survival difficulty respectively.
