Food items provide various means of restoring {{AP}} and are essential to survival.

==Water==
Drinking water will restore {{AP}} to maximum (usually 6), give the {{MetaInline|Refreshed}} effect, and remove the {{MetaInline|Thirsty}} effect. When {{MetaInline|Dehydrated}}, drinking water will change your status to {{MetaInline|Thirsty}} and not restore any {{AP}}. The {{MetaInline|Refreshed}} effect prevents you from restoring {{AP}} again from water, and stops you drinking for this purpose. If you become {{MetaInline|Thirsty}} or {{MetaInline|Dehydrated}} later on you may drink again to remove these effects.

==Food==
Eating food (and premium and infected foods) restores your {{AP}} to maximum and gives the {{MetaInline|Fed}} effect which prevents you from eating again today.

''This has a truly bizarre taste, it's difficult to define. It does the job though: fills your stomach. On the other hand, it doesn't give you any extra energy...''

==Premium Food==
Premium Food gives a bonus {{AP}} taking your total beyond its maximum (usually to 7).

''Just this once does no harm, you enjoy devouring the {{MetaInline}} . It makes a change from the usual disgusting slop... it perks you right up.''
''You get a bonus of 1 AP !''

==Cannibalism!==
These items will give you the cannibalism distinction.



*{{MetaInline|Human Flesh}} - safe to eat. Is used in the temporary building Baited Trap.

*{{MetaInline|Meaty Bone}} - 50% chance of getting you {{MetaInline|Infected}}
''Bad news, you maybe shouldn't have swallowed that... you have been infected !''

==Unprepared Food==
Unprepared food must have some action performed to make it edible.

*{{MetaInline|Can}} - must be opened with a {{MetaInline|Can Opener}}, {{MetaInline|Screwdriver}}, or {{MetaInline|Hacksaw}}, or in the {{MetaInline|Workshop}} costing {{AP}}. Becomes an {{MetaInline|Open Can}}
*{{MetaInline|Dried Marshmallows}} - needs cooking over a {{MetaInline|Torch}} and becomes {{MetaInline|Burnt Marshmallows}}. Heroes can also cook this in a kitchen without a {{MetaInline|Torch}} to make it edible.
*{{MetaInline|Suspicious looking plum juice}} - can be eaten for no effect or cooked by a hero in a {{MetaInline|Kitchen}}.

==Containers==
Containers must be opened in some manner and give random food items.

*{{MetaInline|Doggy Bag}} - can be opened without cost or tools to give 1 item. Cannot be opened if you have a hand injury!
*{{MetaInline|Food Parcel}} - requires tools to open and gives 1-2 items.

==Alcohol==
Alcohol does not count as food nor water. It will restore your {{AP}} to maximum and give you the status {{MetaInline|Drunk}}. The next day you will receive the status {{MetaInline|Hangover}}. Both Drunk and Hungover prevent you from drinking further alcohol.

*{{MetaInline|'Wake The Dead'}}
*{{MetaInline|Vodka Marinostov}}

==Coffee==
Coffee may be drunk an unlimited number of times for no negative effect and each cup restores 4 {{AP}} toward your maximum. However brewing coffee requires a {{MetaInline|Cafetière}} which is expensive to repair, and each cup is expensive to brew.
