Nuka-Cola Dark was the company's attempt at entering the alcoholic beverage market. The beverage was touted as "the most thirst-quenching way to unwind." Those partaking in the drink were recommended to not operate motor vehicles or heavy machinery for at least eight hours after drinking it, and encourage women who are pregnant or planning on becoming pregnant to avoid the drink. Still, it found success in many of the finer lounges and restaurants across the nation.
Characteristics
Nuka-Cola Dark shares the same look as the other bottles of Nuka-Cola but a black color and a simplistic label.

This drink temporarily increases one's Strength and Endurance by 1, but decreases Perception by 1 as well.
