Absinthe

The  is a consumable item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
Absinthe is a green, highly alcoholic (45%- 75% ABV) beverage derived from wormwood, fennel, aniseed and other herbs. It is notable due to its provision of the highest perception bonus of any consumable item, though only with 100 Survival.


 * Effects of Survival:
 * 50: +2 Charisma, +2 Perception, -2 Intelligence
 * 100: +3 Charisma, +3 Perception, -3 Intelligence

Absinthe does not stack separately from other alcohols such as beer etc. This despite the fact that it does have slightly different effects--Perception +1 instead of Strength +1. However, Dixon's whiskey and Moonshine both stack separately from this and other alcohols.
