My Winter Car: How to Sober Up and Change "PROBLEM" to "Thirst"

How to fix it

1. Make sure your other needs are fully met before you start, and do not consume any alcohol during this process.
2. Let your thirst status reach 100 so the bar turns red, which starts the death timer. Do not wait longer than 38 real-time minutes to avoid dying, as you have about 40 minutes total before death occurs while standing still.
3. Drink tap water continuously until the red bar goes back to white. Because your alcoholism is high, you will need to drink a large amount of water and urinate frequently to bring the meter down.
4. Repeat this entire cycle four to five times. Each time you complete this, your alcoholism level will drop significantly.
5. Once your alcoholism is fully cured to zero, let the thirst bar reach red one final time and then drink water to turn it white. This final step changes the "Problem" label back to "Thirst."
6. Alternatively, if you are not playing on permadeath, you can simply die from thirst two to three times to completely cure the alcoholism.

If it still doesn't work

• If the label remains "Problem" even after you have cured your alcoholism, let the bar go back into the red zone and then drink water to turn it white again to fix the issue.
• Keep in mind that reloading your game may visually change "Thirst" back to "Problem" due to a bug, but this is only a visual issue and does not mean your alcoholism has returned; you can fix it by letting the bar turn red and returning it to white.
• If drinking water does not seem to lower the meter, keep drinking and urinating, as higher alcoholism requires more water intake to reduce the thirst level.
