# Eating and Drinking

```
r!eat | r!drink
```

Food and Drink items are now classified as "Consumables", meaning they can be consumed by using the `eat` and `drink` commands. Depending on the Consumable consumed, your Character will receive different amounts of health/stamina *(or other effects for special consumables)*. 

These commands can be used in any IC channel, and at any time.

{% hint style="warning" %}
*Consuming 3 items will trigger a `4h cooldown` before you can eat/drink again since your character would become full (this is regardless of the timeframe within which you've eaten the three meals).*
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
*Alternatively, the `consume` command can be used to consume any food/drink item without having to distinguish between food and drink.*
