Bourbon, previously known as whiskey bottle, is an alcoholic non-perishable food item.

Usage

Alcohol

Bourbon is an alcoholic beverage, and will therefore increase the player's drunkenness as it is consumed. Being drunk will affect the player's coordination (controls), both on foot and in a vehicle, and weapon accuracy.

First Aid

Main article: First Aid

Bourbon can be used as a disinfectant, by applying it directly to the wound, however this will cause some pain and is less effective than applying it to a bandage.

Bourbon will work as a less effective combined version of painkillers, beta blockers, and sleeping tablets, therefore bourbon can replace them if in a pinch, where they may not be available.

Bourbon can be found in kitchen and bar counters, or office desks. It can be occasionally found through foraging in urban areas, although it's rare, as well as near people who committed suicide.

Trivia

• Whiskey was one of the first food items added to the game and before an evolved food system was added, it was able to be drank in half, resulting in a different half-filled item.
• Bourbon was previously called simply "Whiskey", but was renamed to such back in 2020 to fit the game lore after it was pointed out in a joking manner on the forums.
