From The Vault
Moonshine is an item added to Fallout 3 in the Point Lookout add-on.
It raises Charisma and Strength by 2 points each while reducing Intelligence by 2. In addition, it has a 10% chance to cause an Alcohol Addiction.
[edit] Ingredients
As shown in the quest A Spoonful of Whiskey, Moonshine is made from Fission Batteries, Yeast and Wild or Refined Punga Fruits.
Moonshine is the strongest alcohol in the game. Though it has the same 10% addiction rate as stronger alcohol, like whiskey, it bears doubled SPECIAL changes, including a bonus of 2 to strength and charisma, however it also subtracts two points of intelligence. (Mentats are an easy way around this.) Beer might be a preferable alternative, considering its 5% addiction rate and the copious amounts of it, scattered throughout the wasteland, but the effects of beer, as other alcohol, will not stack. This means drinking more than one beer will not change your stats any more than one would. Moonshine can still be consumed and its effects will "overwrite" the effects of other alcohol.
It should also be noted that Beer has a value of only 2, but Moonshine has a value of 50; it may be better suited to selling, rather than drinking.
[edit] Behind the scenes
- Moonshine is a common term for home-distilled alcohol, especially in places where this practice is illegal.
