Many items scattered throughout the Fallout 76 wasteland will help you survive in Appalachia. While you can use many drinks to boost your stats, none are as good as alcohol. Depending on the type you drink, you may end up with strength and damage resistance increases that will keep you going in the toughest environments. You can also complete a challenge. This guide will show you how to find Ancient Alcohol in Fallout 76.
How to Make Vintage Alcohol in Fallout 76
A while ago, Vintage Alcohol was added to Fallout 76 with the Nukashine update. This update allowed you to brew your own alcohol in your camp as long as you completed the quest to get the brewing station. Unfortunately, finding Ancient Spirit, while possible, is very rare in Fallout 76 and is usually found on enemies or given as rewards for completing events or quests. For this reason, it is much easier to make your own alcohol.

There are several types of liquor that you can craft and then turn into its vintage variant. Start by preparing one of the following alcohols:
Each of these recipes requires different materials, so be sure to collect what is needed to craft them. Most recipes call for the use of Razorgrain and boiled water, both of which are very easy to obtain. The type of alcohol you make will end up being fermentable.

Take your fermentable alcohol and place it in your fermenter. This is another camping item you will have received from the Nukashine quest. Once the fermentable alcohol is in the fermenter, you will see a yellow bar appear next to it. Leave the alcohol in the fermenter for about half an hour and it will turn into regular alcohol. To age it, keep the alcohol in the fermenter for another hour and it will automatically turn into its aged variant.
