DRINKING AND EATINGFollow

you do not auto drink alchohol. You have to place it in an open inventory slot and right click on it to drink.

It has to be a first level inventory slot to use a potion, not in a bag.If you put the potions in the potion belt, you can use them from there, even if they are really in a bag.

Also some potions are 5 or 10 dose, may not look like you used them when in fact you have, and the dosage goes down each time.

Food and drink (non-alcoholic) will be consumed automatically from a bag. To force eat and drink regular food to save stat food/drink, it also has to be in a prime inventory slot, not a bag. Same with an alcoholic beverage to right click it uses it.

Just to clarify...

To force consumption of something, be it food, beverage (alcohol or not), or potion, the item must be in an inventory slot and NOT in a container. Exeption being if you have placed a 'potion belt enabled' item in your potion belt. Then you can 'use' it via the belt and not have to dig into containers to get it.

Some potions have level requirements as stated.

The food or non-alcoholic beverage in the top slots of the top left container will be consumed first when your character needs them.

Alcoholic beverages must be forced, you will not consume these automagically.
