Food

**Food** is a gameplay feature in *Saints Row* and *Saints Row 2*.

## Overview

**Food** restores Health immediately, rather than waiting for health to regenerate normally.

**Booze** increases melee attack power, while also affecting movement, and adding a rippling cosmetic effect to the screen. Playa vomits after drinking too much Booze.

**Weed** increases damage resistance, and creates a distorted, clouded view. Playa has a coughing fit after smoking too much Weed, which is shorter than vomiting, but empties the Stamina bar.

In *Saints Row 2*, there are no statistical effects of Weed and Alcohol.

The *Food/Drug inventory* holds 4 items. When using Food items Playa goes through an eating animation which can be halted by buying, shooting, or Sprinting.

The Food/Drug inventory is part of the weapons HUD, and can be accessed any time weapons can be changed, including while driving a car or within a Store.

Consuming Booze or weed in front of a cop instantly increases Notoriety to level 1.

## Obtaining

* **Food** items are purchased at Fast Food restaurants.
