What does this mod do?
I really dislike Fallout 3 and New Vegas' addiction systems. Random chance just makes me feel annoyed every time an addiction hits, and I fix it seconds later with a quick trip to a doctor. This mod removes the chance for addiction from all relevant items, and increases their negative drawbacks to compensate. Alcohol makes you stupider, chems ravage your body, and whiskey burns going down! Addiction is a mental battle, not just a physical one.
Word of warning: Those perks that increase the duration of your chems? They'll increase the duration of the bad stuff too, so watch out!
Base stats are based off SawyerBatty, so you'll also experience alcohols helping your dehydration level instead of hurting it, and you'll also see bug fixes from YUP (SawyerBatty is not required, the changes are built into the ESP).
Dialogue options for removing addictions have not been removed, just in case you manage to get yourself addicted to a modded chem or something.

Installation
Install using your preferred mod manager. Make sure to load the plugin after any re-balance mods you have, such as Jsawyer Ultimate or SawyerBatty. If all else fails: just load it last, it only changes what it needs to.
Compatibility
Anything that edits the functions of chems or alcohol will not be compatible. Follow install instructions to ensure the mod works with your load order.
TTW will work as long as you load this mod after it, but it won't cover any of the TTW-specific chemsyet.
Also compatible with my other alcohol-related mod.
