Unofficial Starfield Patch

Companions and Elite Crew can react with dialogue to COM_Event_Action_Consume_Alcohol and COM_Event_Action_Consume_Drugs (the latter is mapped to COM_Event_Action_Consume_Chems through a native engine function) as defined in the CompanionAffinityEventsScript script:

;**************************************************************************************************
;*************************** COM_Event_Action_Consume_Alcohol ***************************
;*************************** COM_Event_Action_Consume_Drugs ***************************
;**************************************************************************************************
Event Actor.OnItemEquipped(Actor akSender, Form akBaseObject, ObjectReference akReference)
if akBaseObject.HasKeyword(COM_ObjType_ChemBad)
SendAffinityEvent(COM_Event_Action_Consume_Drugs)
elseif akBaseObject.HasKeyword(COM_ObjType_Drink)
SendAffinityEvent(COM_Event_Action_Consume_Alcohol)
endif
EndEvent

Problem: No alcoholic drinks or chems in the vanilla game have the necessary keywords, so companions never react to the player consuming alcoholic drinks or bad chems.

Solution: The "COM_ObjType_Drink" keyword needs to be added to all alcoholic drinks, and "COM_ObjType_ChemBad" added to all bad chems. I have attached an ESP with all alcoholic drinks and chems fixed. Note, I am not sure what exactly qualifies as a "bad chem," so I just added the keyword to all performance enhancing chems for now.

Note, this issue was fixed in the Starfield Community Patch, but not for all alcoholic drinks and chems.
