Alcohol Addiction

 is a form of addiction which can occur in Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout Tactics.

Fallout and Fallout 2
This was only partially implemented in Fallout and Fallout 2. Art and descriptions exist, but the addiction itself is not defined and so it cannot be obtained in the unmodded game.

Fallout 3

 * With the Broken Steel add-on, the perk Party Boy becomes available at level 28, so while you can still get addicted, you suffer no harmful effects.
 * As with all other addictions in Fallout 3, you can only get rid of alcohol addiction by visiting a doctor or by using My First Laboratory.

Fallout: New Vegas

 * Like addiction in Fallout 3, you can visit a doctor to remove alcohol addiction, but you can also remove the addiction yourself by using Fixer.
 * The negative effects of Alcohol addiction can be negated if the player has the Whiskey Rose perk when the effects of addiction are applied.
