The in-game text implies that it is possible to get addicted to the various alcoholic and medical substances found in Fallout 3. I'm curious - what are the consequences of addiction and can they be counteracted?

Whiskey has a base 10% chance to give you an addiction which increases each time you consume it.

Upon becoming addicted, withdrawal from Whiskey will give you a penalty of -1 agility and -1 charisma.

In Fallout 3, addictions are permanent until cured by:

  • visiting a doctor
  • owning and using a My First Laboratory house improvement in a house you own
  • using healing archways in Mothership Zeta

Further details about addictions for all the Fallout games can be found on the Fallout Wiki here

    Do you get addicted to Whiskey specifically or will any alcoholic drink in general sate the addiction?

    It'll be Whiskey specifically, it's an odd quirk of the FO3 addiction system.

  • Thanks that's interesting - also that some drugs have a higher chance of addiction than others :)
