Beverages mechanics are counterintuitive

Of course it is documented well on wiki, but for the perspective of a new player, you are:
- Making 1 gulp of a drink
- "Drink and be merry" buff kicks in, explains you "You have tasted some goodly brew, and food never tasted better"
- Entire game experience explains you that the more delicacy food is, the more FEP it gains. Spices as well, shows you that spicing (improving taste) improves FEP. Fine!
- There even an effect displayed, I made a gulp of wine, there is "Cheese +48%", meaning I'll have +48% FEP eating cheese? Increbibly based

Then a real effect revealing to you while eating, you're receiving slightly less Satiations while eating type of food listed in drink. Totally contradicts everything you expected.
Either change description or make it buff FEP you gaining, even if it's too OP though

"You have tasted some goodly brew, and food never tasted better" -> "You have tasted some godly brew, you feel like you could eat forever" or something seems fine.

So what, I can eat 48% more cheese? More than what? What is the limiter, is it satiations or hunger? Where is it displayed?
