var = the ability to drink more than just water normally

Idea. The ability to drink more than just water normally.

Reason. Currently, the game doesn't respond to the "drink" command (alt + D) if your container isn't water. And if you manually press "drink," it drinks nonstop until it's all gone. This is one of the reasons why most people only quench their thirst with water.

Suggestion:
- Make it so that everything drinkable counts as "water." So that when you use "drink water," it drinks whatever's in the container, if it's drinkable.
- Stops after the energy bar is full.
- Add a "Drink all" function for buffs. It works like "drink" now: it drinks nonstop until it bursts. And even after that.

No, no no no.

With great power of drinking other stuff should come great responsibility of looking what you're drinking. Especially when your belt is full of containers and two more on your side slots (can't even tell how often I ended up with Pickling brine or Rennet in those).

You're kind. I think even if he mixes up the containers, he'll know by the smell and taste, as soon as the liquid touches his tongue, that it's unfit for drinking, and he'll immediately stop and spit it out. It's unlikely he'll drink a liter of turpentine while saying, "What a delicious drink, slightly pungent and with a hint of pine," or, knowing he's holding a bucket of vinegar, decide, "Vinegar is nothing - thirst is everything."
