You have a normal maximum of 6. Given that most food and drink replenish 6 AP, the usual practice is therefore to '''use up 6 AP''' --> (at 0) '''eat food''' --> '''use up 6 AP''' --> (at 0) '''drink water''' --> use up 6 AP --> alcohol and or drugs. Most people just eat and drink for the day, and when [[Water Ration|water levels]] are low, some may drink every other day.

AP can be restored by eating [[Food]], drinking [[Water Ration|Water]], drinking [[Food#Alcohol|Alcohol]], drinking [[Food#Coffee|Coffee]] or taking [[Drug]]s, generally in this order. Aside from Drugs and Coffee, the other three can only restore AP once a day (and in the case of [[Food#Alcohol|Alcohol]], once every other day). Unlike Drugs, [[Bloody hot coffee|Coffee]] will not get you addicted to anything, but it also will only restore 4AP per use.

Eating food may cause thirst later on, so it is generally recommended to eat (then use the AP up) before drinking.

Rolling [[Dice]] and playing with [[Incomplete_Deck_of_Cards|Incomplete Deck of Cards]] have a chance of restoring a single AP per day, but be careful of the Cards as you could draw one with your name written in blood and will then enter a [[Terrified]] Mental State.

* Drinking {{MetaInline|Bloody Hot Coffee}} restores 4 {{AP}}, but does not restore your {{AP}} over its maximum amount. For example, drinking {{MetaInline|Bloody Hot Coffee}} with 2 {{AP}} left restores you to 6 {{AP}}, but drinking it with 3 {{AP}} left still only restores you to 6.

* Taking {{MetaInline|Anabolic Steroids}} restores your {{AP}} to the maximum.

* Taking {{MetaInline|Twinoid 500mg}} restores your {{AP}} to the maximum, plus 2. This is 8 {{AP}} for a healthy individual.

* Taking {{MetaInline|Unlabelled Drugs}} or {{MetaInline|Betapropine 5mg (expired)}} has a chance of restoring your maximum {{AP}} or your maximum {{AP}} plus 1.

Also, the [[EMS System]] will restore AP, but it will lower your max AP to 5 and will cause you to be [[Wounded]].
