Alcohol Addiction (Fallout 3)

Alcohol addiction is an addiction in Fallout 3.

Gameplay
When suffering from alcohol addiction, a 1-point penalty is applied to Agility and Charisma.

Bugs
Alcohol addiction can be permanently suppressed by consuming a different type of alcoholic consumable than the one which initially caused the addiction, e.g. if the Lone Wanderer became addicted to alcohol after consuming a Beer, waiting for alcohol withdrawal symptoms to kick in and then consuming scotch or vodka will cause withdrawal symptoms to be removed and not reapplied. The Lone Wanderer will still be considered to be addicted to alcohol for the purposes of most scripts and dialog checks, and can still cure their alcohol addiction by visiting a doctor or using My First Laboratory.
