On my most recent NV save I've done something I've never done before. Tools chems. Forever. At level 14, I had Logan's Loophole, Chemist and Day Tripper, as well as Cass as a companion, making whiskey very useful. My 70+ survival skill gave me +2 charisma and strength, and all of my chem-related perks gave me whiskey lasting over twenty minutes. So, I went to the wrangler, bought all of the whiskey (costing just over 300 caps) went to the bathroom, and drank all of it (all while drinking from the taps so I didn't die if dehydration). I've played hours of the game since, and its still there... Whiskey has become a part of my personality.
