Staying hydrated is one of the most important aspects of your health. From water to a cocktail, there are a ton of drinks in the world to quench your thirst. That same thought can be applied to video games. Countless games have their own drinks for their characters to prevent becoming parched.
Unlike real life, though, fictional video game drinks often grant outrageous powers. It could be a significant amount to your health or an incredible speed boost. Whatever the case may be, there are plenty of iconic video game drinks that have become staples of their series over the years.
10 Pisswasser
Pisswasser first appeared in Grand Theft Auto 4. From there, it made frequent appearances in GTA 5 and GTA Online.
The German export lager is advertised everywhere. You'll hear about it on the in-game radio and see it on television or billboards.
The name implies that it doesn't taste great, but everyone in the GTA universe seems to love it. You can even purchase stocks of the brand and try to get rich from its success.
Just don't drink too much or you'll be stumbling around town.
9 Speed Cola
Speed Cola comes from the acclaimed Call of Duty Zombies series. It is one of the most sought after perks in COD Zombies, because of the buff that it delivers. As you can tell by its name, you'll net yourself a mighty speed boost.
The fully upgraded version of Speed Cola is one of the most helpful fictional drinks in all of gaming. It speeds up reload time, barrier repairs, Field Upgrade recharges, Mystery Box decisions, and weapon swapping. You'll also be able to shoot your gun and reload while sprinting if you chug a Speed Cola.
8 SoulStorm Brew
SoulStorm Brew is a drink produced by the Glukkons at SoulStorm Brewery. The non-alcoholic, highly addictive energy beverage is found in the Oddworld franchise.
Notably, it is made from ground-up bones and the tears of tortured Mudokons.
Just a few drinks will make Mudokons dependent and willing to work for it. For Abe, the series most popular protagonist, his farts will become explosive and possibly possessed after drinking too many.
It easily makes creatures ill, but Abe does eventually gain a spiritual power to cure the illness and dependency.
7 Grog
Grog is found in the real world as a spirit, originally rum, mixed with water. The fictional version of Grog in the Monkey Island series is much more involved, though.
It is actually quite disgusting with its long list of possible ingredients.
Though it is a popular beverage in Monkey Island, it is also one of the most volatile things known to humanity. The drink is meant to test a pirate's mettle, as it can be made with the likes of Kerosene, Sulfuric Acid, Acetone, Battery Acid, Pepperoni, or a number of other horrid inclusions.
6 Chateau Romani
Vintage Milk, Milk of the Night, or Chateau Romani are the names for this recurring fictional drink. It is a part of The Legend of Zelda and gives Link a magical boost as he travels throughout Hyrule.
Most of the time, you'll need to drop a solid 200 Rupees to fill your flask with it.
Chateau Romani's initial effect is like Blue Potion. It completely refills Link's Magic Meter and Life Energy.
There's more to it than that, however. It also provides Link with Infinite Magic for the remainder of the game's three-day cycle in which the potion was consumed.
5 Shadowbanish Wine
Shadowbanish Wine is only found in Cyrodiil. This is the homeland of the Imperials, the capital of Tamriel in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion.
It is a very valuable fictional drink because of its effects and its rarity. While it is active, it will drain your Agility and Intelligence by 10 points.
The bonus it provides is well worth that. You'll receive Night-Eye for 240 seconds. It turns your vision blue, which can make some objects harder to spot, but overall allows you to see in the darkest regions of the world.
4 Sprunk
Sprunk is not only featured in the Grand Theft Auto series but also appears in Manhunt, another Rockstar Games project. It is the in-game copycat of the ever-popular lemon-lime soda Sprite.
According to a radio ad, it has 10x the caffeine and sugar of other carbonated beverages.
The drink is mixed with mercury, ether, and benzene to become the "Essence of Life." It is also packaged in cans shaped like frag grenades.
In GTA 5, you can buy Sprunk stocks and add logos to your cars to be a driving billboard for the fictional drink.
3 Juggernog
Juggernog is the most powerful drink Perk in COD Zombies. It is one of the original and has remained for good reason.
It is a lifesaver, as it turns you into a tank for a brief while after you down it. You'll want to obtain it as soon as possible.
The base version gives you a great health increase, but in later editions of Zombies, you need to upgrade it to receive the full effects. Those effects include boosted health, status effect reduction, additional armor, and the ability to survive one more lethal hit when you're at one HP.
2 Nuka Cola
Nuka Cola is the drink of the future. Well, a post-apocalyptic future that is.
You'll find this popular fictional drink in the Fallout series. It was created in 2044 and immediately became the most popular soft drink in the US and a staple of the country's culture.
It is so important in Fallout's history that its bottle caps became the main form of currency once the Great War ended.
The beverage consists of seventeen fruit essences and is wildly unhealthy with 120% of the daily recommended amount of sugar. If you consume too much, you'll easily become addicted and have regular headaches if you miss your dose of Nuka Cola.
1 Slurp Juice
Slurp Juice is the name of a consumable item in Fortnite: Battle Royale. The blue color is mesmerizing and it appears to be the source of other healing items in the game.
It's just that only one item is actually called Slurp Juice, but those such as a Chug Jug and shield potions probably contain the same type of drink in varying amounts.
You'll want to find a safe spot to consume the Slurp in Fortnite. It replenishes health and shield, but you'll be drinking it for a short period of time. That could leave you open to attack from other players.
Its properties and inclusion in Fortnite, one of pop culture's most famous entities, are what make it a great fictional drink.
