There’s an entire perk line dedicated to Henry’s ability to drink, but there’s only one perk that’s related to hangovers:Nightcap.This prevents you from getting a hangover when you wake up after a round of drinks. It’ll also make all beds 10% more comfortable for you if you’re drunk, which is great once you get the free one fromthe Lackey quest. That means you regenerate Energy and Health faster than normal.
