Jake Juice (a rare version of Scotch) is an addictive alcoholic 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, Jake Juice'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 Jake Juice 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.
