Answer this: does an ice cold beer in hot Summer makes you thirty? If you don't think so, install this..
Alcohol is a diuretic, meaning it increases the amount of water your body eliminates through your urine. On the other side, the water content of most beers is high enough to satisfy thirst – at least temporarily. Research indicates beer with low ABV and non-alcoholic beer can hydrate better than water under specific conditions.
Can you hydrate with beer?
Studies suggest that beverages with low alcohol concentrations have “a negligible diuretic effect” when consumed in a state of exercise-induced dehydration, meaning that hydrating with water or a low-alcohol beer (~2% ABV) is effectively the same. … That’s good news considering you won’t find too many 2% beers.
So, the question is: Do Fallout 4 Ice Cold Drinks have less than 2% alcohol? :)
Ahahahaha! XD Thanks mate for the lesson, but imo there is the thermoregulation effect to be taken in consideration. :) Anyways, an object marked as alcohol in FO4 still makes you thirsty (as lightly as any chem, not as highly as Jet or Stimpaks), as it should be, as Ice Cold beer does in this mod, but at first it quenches thirst as I think it should do. There are several kinds of beer in FO4 and they are all the same except the Lager one that has a Stagger effect when is not Ice Cold. Cheers :)
Not at all, at least not in Fallout (not even in FO:New Vegas): All drinks marked alcohol, caffeinates (NukaCola) and chems do increase thirst, while only Water and consumables marked HC_Sustenance_QuencesThirst and I believe it is like food with hunger, so they increase effect as the object value increases: for example Dirty Water is not valuable and needs two, while Soups are quite valuable and Purified Water has its own mark. There is also an unused effect keyword: HC_Sustenance_IncreaseThirst, but it seems it was redundant.
( EDIT) OOT but it is very useful to search into the game codes, because it helps you understand what effects stack and what doesn't: like for example Perception is increased by Ability Effects [2 perks (VANS2, Night Person), clothing or PA helmet mod, phoropter (Phoro...that thing!), legendary effects], Food, Mirelurk jerky, Slocum buzz, Bufftats, Calmex, Daddyo, Mentats (or Orange), Psychotats, X-Cell: the AbEffects all stack with the exception that Power armor cancels the clothing effects.

Don't all drinks satisfy thirst temporarily?
