Changes to Soda

[Kajin 25]

Soda is a pretty common loot drop. Also, as a liquid, it's used to quench the thirst of your character. The thing is... A can of soda isn't entirely made of water. A can is also a rather small container, so there isn't that much liquid in it to begin with. At least not in comparison to a canteen of water, anyway.

What I'd like to suggest... In order to better reflect the nature of soda, when you drink it it fills your water gauge all the way up, but it also gives you a temporary debuff that makes you thirsty faster than you normally would. It should also fill a very small amount of hunger, because the calories will give you a meager amount of energy as well as trace amounts of various vitamins and minerals (not enough to be a healthy diet, but it's still there). That way, if you can't find any food, drinking lots of soda will help keep you going long enough to find some.

People have brought up topics like this before. I really don't get the big deal. It's just an alternative to quench your thirst. Always have two water bottles in my pack..
