Fallout 76 Consumables

List of consumables
Many foods and drink items found in Appalachia are slightly irradiated and can give the player character radiation poisoning. Many also carry the chance of disease.

Food
Some food items can be planted in player settlements to increase the settlement's food supply. Uneaten meat and vegetables will spoil over time and then have a greater chance of causing disease.

Soups
Soups satisfy both hunger and thirst and have some of the lowest chances of causing disease.

Drinks
These consumable items can heal the player, temporarily change the player's SPECIAL stats and add various other unique effects. Some of these drinks can be crafted at chemistry stations found across Appalachia. When drinking alcoholic consumables such as beer and wine, there's a chance the player can become addicted, which will result in decreased stats until the addiction is cured. To prevent addiction, the Professional Drinker perk must be leveled.

Chems
The biggest change from previous games is the fact the player can only be under the effects of a single chem at any given time. Different chems can restore Hit Points, slow time, temporarily change the player's SPECIAL stats and a variety of other effects. Many of these chems can be crafted at chemistry stations located all across Appalachia. Many chems can be bought from medical supplies vending machines. It's possible to become addicted to some chems, which will result in decreased stats until the addiction is cured. Chems in Fallout 76 differ in that taking multiple chems at once does not stack their effects.
