Various forms of alcohol appear in all games of the Fallout Series.
Overview
Alcoholic beverages in Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76 provide both beneficial and negative effects. Alcoholic beverages are generally radiation-free, although irradiated variations exist.
Examples
Absinthe
Absinthe is a green, highly alcoholic beverage distilled from a fermented mash containing wormwood, fennel, aniseed, and other herbs. It provides the highest Perception bonus of any consumable item with a Survival skill of 100.
Atomic cocktail
A novelty drink mixer shaped like a rocket ship, with a black logo on one side with the words "atomic cocktail" surrounding an atom. When consumed, the player character is resistant to fire and energy weapon damage.
Ballistic Bock
A strong, hardy, lightly hopped dark beer brewed using gunpowder and nuclear material. It increases damage from ballistic weapons by 15% but increases the condition cost by 15% for five minutes.
Battle Brew
Battle Brew is a potent concoction made from vodka, mutated cave fungi, and Salient Green. The mixture has no Charisma bonus, but the drinker will be healed and be given greater resistance to injury.
Booze
This generic and nonspecific form of alcohol can be found or purchased throughout the wasteland and frequently found in consolidated communities and settlements.
Bourbon
Bourbon is shown as a bottle of premium bourbon from "Old Appalachia," aged nine years, although the bottling year isn't given. Drinking it grants the player character a temporary boost to Strength and Endurance, but it increases the player character's thirst and penalizes Intelligence until the effects wear off.
Dirty Wastelander
A Dirty Wastelander is a cocktail made by mixing whiskey, Nuka-Cola, and mutfruit. Like most alcoholic beverages, it raises Strength and Charisma, but lowers Intelligence.
Hard lemonade
An alcoholic drink crafted with vodka and lemonade, fortifying AP +30 and AP regeneration +10% for 10 minutes.
High Voltage Hefe
High Voltage Hefeweizen, often shortened to Hefe, is an alcoholic beverage whose name comes from hefe, the German word for yeast, and weizen, the German word for wheat. It uses the energy-based fusion cell for the "high voltage" part of the brew's name.
Jake Juice
Despite being a rare version of scotch, it has exactly the same effects and value as scotch. It renders +1 Strength, +1 Charisma, and -1 Intelligence for four minutes to the consumer.
Lead champagne
A sparkling wine brewed using lead, tarberries, and nuclear material, appearing in a glass champagne flute. It increases Rad Resistant by 250 but increases fall speed and sprint cost by 10%. It can be used to create lead champagne Mimosas and lead champagne Bellinis.
Liquid Courage
Liquid Courage is a custom-made brew that provides temporary bonuses of one to Luck and Strength each. It also provides immunity to fear attacks from the wendigo colossus, hence the courage part of the name.
Moonshine
Moonshine is a high-ethanol alcoholic beverage that has a more pronounced effect on the user's personality than other types, giving a greater boost to Charisma. Like other alcohol, it raises Strength but lowers Intelligence for the duration of its effects. In Appalachia, a variant known as cranberry moonshine can be found.
Mountain honey
A high-proof distilled liquor brewed using honey and fermented snaptail reed. It increases Strength and Charisma by one and Max HP by 25 while also lowering Intelligence by one.
Nuka-Cola Dark
This variation of Nuka-Cola became the company's attempt at entering the alcoholic beverage market and appealing to the adult demographic. A ready to drink bottle of Nuka-Cola and rum boasting an alcohol-by-volume content of 35%, the beverage was touted as "the most thirst-quenching way to unwind." Those partaking in the drink were recommended to not operate motor vehicles or heavy machinery for at least eight hours after drinking, and encourage women who are pregnant or may become pregnant to avoid the drink.[1] Still, it found success in many of the finer lounges and restaurants across the nation.[2] It can be found after the war in locations such as the Nuka-World theme-park in the Boston Commonwealth, or at the Appalachian Whitespring Resort.
Nukashine
A high-proof distilled liquor brewed using Nuka-Cola Quantum and nuclear material. It decreases the AP cost of sprinting by 80% and increases AP regeneration by 50% while inflicting 30 Rads and causing the user to "blackout" after the drink's duration.
Roentgen Rum
A "glow in the dark" type of rum, named after Wilhelm Roentgen, which results in various changes in Perception.
Rot gut
A very strong, potentially toxic liquor found around the west coast.
Rum
A spirit produced by fermenting sugarcane byproducts, like molasses or sugarcane juice, used in a variety of cocktails, like Long Island Iced Tea[3] and Rum & Nuka.
Rum & Nuka
Rum & Nuka is a simple cocktail of Nuka-Cola and rum. Consuming it results in +1 Strength for 4 minutes and -1 Intelligence for the same duration.
Scotch
Scotch is a variant of whiskey that raises Strength and Charisma at the cost of lowering Intelligence. While bottles should have an orange-brownish color, they are actually translucent.
Sierra Madre martini
The Sierra Madre martini is a potent alcoholic beverage brewed by Dean Domino using toxins from the Cloud and pre-War junk food. Unusually for a form of alcohol, it does not have any immediate negative effects.
Tick blood tequila
A distilled beverage typically made from agave brewed using tick blood and pure crimson flux, served in a small shot glass. It can be used to create tick blood Tequila Sunrise and tick blood Tequila Margaritas.
Vodka
Vodka is a distilled alcoholic beverage.
Wasteland tequila
Wasteland tequila is an alcoholic drink that can be brewed using agave cactus. Like many other types of alcohol, it boosts Charisma and Strength while lowering Intelligence for the duration of its effects. It also gives added resistance to poison.
Whiskey
Drinking increases Strength and Charisma while lowering Intelligence. The brands most commonly found in the wastes are Olde Royale and Uisce Beatha.
White Russian
A chilled cocktail made by mixing vodka with canned coffee and brahmin milk. It reduces limb damage to the user by 25%.
Wine
Wine is an alcoholic beverage made from the fermentation of grape juice. It is produced by fermenting crushed grapes using various types of yeast which consume the sugars found in the grapes and convert them into alcohol. There are several vintages available in the wasteland, including 2055 Chateau Lafayette,[4] the 2043 Chateau Montrose,[5] and the 2064 Atomic Claret.[6]
Mentioned-only
Beantown Brown Beer
Beantown Brown Beer was the favored drink among blue-collar workers after a long day on the job. Known for being the common man's beer, it had a higher than average alcohol content and a lower than average price tag. The beer was produced at the Beantown Brewery in Boston.
Champagne
A sparkling white wine produced from grapes grown in the Champagne region of France. The term is commonly used for any sparkling wine, regardless of the origin of the grapes.[7] A handcrafted version appears in Appalachia, known as lead champagne.
Chianti
A wine produced in the Chianti region of Tuscany, Italy.[8][9]
Claret
Comes in the 64 vintage.[6]
Extractor Sunrise
Created by Ansel at the RobCo Sales & Service Center, this drink is made with one part vodka and grenadine mixed in a glass of bio med gel. The resulting pinkish drink largely came about as a dare to whoever would drink it first, but the concoction turned out "pretty good", sweet with the right amount of "kick", but is a bit thick because of the bio gel. Names for the drink were debated until Extractor Sunrise won the popular vote. The drink remained a secret as the cost of bio med gel was upward of $1000.[10]
Maddog 30/30
A low end fortified wine, likely 30% alcohol by volume in 30 ounce containers.[11]
Marsala wine
A fortified wine, dry or sweet, produced in the region surrounding the Italian city of Marsala in Sicily.[12]
Triple sec
An orange flavored liqueur used in a variety of cocktails.[3]
Synthetic alcohol
These kinds of drinks were developed as placebos for addicts before the Great War.[13]
Alcohol-Z
Alcohol-Z is a non-alcoholic synthetic beverage, made in Vault City.[11][13] In-game, there is no physical "Alcohol-Z" item, as the dialogue option only results in giving $20 to the bartender and increase one's "drinking" stat for the purposes of perks.
Tequila W
A synthetic non-alcoholic spirit designed to taste like tequila that is served in Vault City.[11]
Tequila W2
Another synthetic non-alcoholic tequila served in Vault City.[11]
Vodka-H
A synthetic non-alcoholic liquor designed to taste like vodka.[11]
