DESCRIPTION
Every so often, you'll notice your character's stomach is rumbling,
or that his or her throat is parched. This means you need to eat
or drink something.

If you do not have any food, there are shops throughout the world
where it may be purchased.

If your drink container happens to be empty, FILL it at the
nearest fountain or fresh water source (such as a river or stream).

If you have a lantern and wish to refill it with lamp oil, you may
do so using the FILL command, as well, e.g., FILL LANTERN OIL.

If you've managed to get the liquid in your container poisoned
in some way, or if the container is full of some other undesirable
liquid, EMPTY it and FILL it at the nearest fountain or fresh
water source.

Characters of the FEY race may not drink water for risk of
cleansing their characters of the evil ethereal force that
comprises their being. In order to quench this thirst, the fey
must FEED on another living being or on fresh blood spilled
during combat.

Drink containers may also be filled with blood spilled on the
ground by specifying "blood", e.g., FILL BLOODSKIN BLOOD.

Magical blood fountains exist in various rare locations around
the world, usually in fairly evil locations. Bloodskins may be
filled here as well.

Certain magical items in the world can increase the time inbetween
eating and drinking, or eliminate the need entirely (such as a
Bracelet of Life Sustaining).

If you are hungry or thirsty, you will not regenerate hit points
or stamina.
