Is it true that alcohol protects you against radiation? If so, how does it work?

It lowers your radiation meter in a couple of seconds, although it makes your vision wobbly. You can still continue searching for artifacts though.

Not really. The myth originates from Chernobyl disaster workers hitting the bar, and then something else.

Nothing large, maybe a few mSv

Red Wine increases strontium which absorbs radiation and carries it from your system. The effect is minimal and basically just means if you work with nuclear technology you can have a safe career for a few years longer before you have to still early retire.

Anything else that increases metabolism or helps "flush your system" also aids in protecting you from the long term effects of minimal radiation that you work with.

>> No.5281915

>>5281913
Also, this is basically just "eating healthy for a longer nuclear career". There is no drug that protects you from radiation the way a good nuclear suit will.

Yes. I don't mind getting naded to death once in a while, but when the piss-poorest little wannabe-bandits sow more grenades than all the rice in china, sending your mangled bloody pieces into space at the galactic escape velocity, it kind of tends to break the suspension of disbelief.

But a pissant with a broken makarov with a million grenades?
Or a whole troop of them?

If all the bandits had so many grenades, the mass concentration should have caused the zone to collapse into a black hole and destroyed the Earth before SoC or CoP ever happened.
