Bitter drink

Bitter drink is a consumable item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background
Originating from Twin Mothers, bitter drink is a useful healing drink primarily carried by legionaries and is regularly consumed by wounded soldiers on the Legion's long forced marches. Not suprisingly, the drink is known for its bitterness. It derives its name from curing the wounds but leaving the "bitter" pain from them. The drink is so bitter, it needs to be drank in one shot; the stomach rejects the concoction after a second drink.

Characteristics
Bitter drink is roughly twice as strong as healing powder, and carries none of the usual side-effects that come from the use thereof - making it a highly effective means for replenishing your health outside of combat (assuming a high Survival skill, if allowed to heal its full amount over time, it can heal more than a stimpak).

Only a few healing items actually recover more health over time, and all of those that are crafted or are otherwise uncommon sights; brahmin steaks, Nuka-Cola Quartz, Nuka-Cola Victory, making the bitter drink somewhat unique. Bitter drinks also counts as a chem, rather than a drink (but there is no risk of addiction).

Locations
The Bitter Drink Recipe is given by Ulysses to the player after completing the Lonesome Road add-on. Alternatively, it is found in the crate at the Canyon wreckage.
