Ginger Ale is a sealed can of fizzy soft drink. It is a light drink that eases thirst and takes the edge off hunger. A can weighs 0.3 and keeps without spoiling.

Ginger ale is one of the easiest drinks to find. Vending machines and shop fridges hold it very often. The can also has a crafting use of its own.

Eating


Drinking a can of ginger ale lowers thirst by 9 and hunger by 3.6. It holds 120 calories. That is a small amount, so it does little to help a character gain weight.

The sealed can has to be opened before drinking. When the can is finished, an empty Pop Can is left behind.

Ginger ale matches Cola as a drink. Both lower thirst by 9 and hunger by 3.6, with 120 calories. Diet Cola gives the same thirst and hunger effect. Orange Soda is far stronger, lowering thirst by 60 and hunger by 24.

The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.
