drinking system. A few ideas to improve it.

[thrasher (DayZ) 52]

Ok so right now we have water (in a canteen) and cans of soda. I have a couple of ideas to maybe improve the current system.

IRL water will quench your thirst way better than a can of soda, so I think water should be better than it is now. Sodas should stay exactly as they are now, but considering a canteen has a cap and you would be able to close it you should be able to drink TWICE from a canteen, or maybe have your thirst level drop much slower after drinking water.

I was also thinking players should be able to use an empty tin can, or an empty whiskey bottle to fill with water (which would disappear after being used, like soda cans) in a pinch, but they wouldn't fully recover your thirst, only slightly.

Also, as many people have said... Rain water to fill bottles.

I like the idea of multiple use canteens. But rain water u would need a rain collector and lots of rain

agree with use of whiskey bottles.

for soda and drinking system a have a couple ideas(i hope OP doesnt mind :) )

1 allow to drink from water sources without stupid bottle(its already been said, but still)

2 split thirst meter in 2:

thirst meter and water meter.

when you become to thirsty your water meter starts draining, and when its depleted you start loosing blood. water refills both of this meters, but soda refills only water meter. thus soda will help you to survive but you still be thirsty and thus have to find normal water.
