Old World Gourmet

Old World Gourmet is a perk in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Dead Money.

Effects
Additional health is gained from snack foods, and alcohol now gives HP when consuming the drink.

The Old World Gourmet perk provides three main effects:


 * 1) The perk increases the amount of health given by the various types of so-called "Snack Food" by 50%. This increase is done by modifying the duration of health restoration; for example, the health restoration effect of junk food is changed from +1(5s) HP (one Hit Point per second for five seconds) to +1(7s) HP (one Hit Point per second for seven seconds).
 * 2) The perk adds a health restoration effect to wine, vodka, and scotch, as well as the scotch variants irradiated scotch and Jake Juice. The effect is the same for all: +2(10s) HP.
 * 3) The perk modifies the player's chance of addiction, reducing it by 25%. This is a multiplicative change, meaning that (for example) items that normally have an addiction chance of 10% will instead have an addiction chance of 7.5%. This change applies to all sources of addiction, even those items not otherwise affected by this perk.
