How to Drink in My Winter Car
Drinking is required early and the game does not explain it. If the problem bar keeps rising or water does nothing, you are missing how the system actually works. This guide explains how to drink correctly and what drinking affects.
How Drinking Works in My Winter Car
Drinking lowers the problem bar.
This system replaces the old thirst behavior. Water alone is not enough.
How to Drink Items
Drinking uses normal item interaction.
Pick up a drink item
Use the drink normally

There is no special button or menu.
What Drinks Affect the Problem Bar
Not all drinks behave the same.
