A '''potion of space mead''' is a type of [[Magical item|magical]] [[potion]] that appears in [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]]. It appears as a "golden potion" when [[Identification|unidentified]].

==Generation==
Potions of space mead are not randomly generated, though they can be [[wish]]ed for or found in [[bones]].

==Description==
A [[hero]] [[quaffing]] a potion of space mead gains [[nutrition]] and may become [[confused]] dependent on the potion's [[beatitude]], [[diluted]] status and their [[race]]. This will subject them to the many effects listed below in the given order and [[auto-identify]] the potion.

# [[Clockwork automaton (starting race)|Clockwork]] heroes that are ''not'' [[Android]]s do not experience any effects unless they have the [[Spirits (dNetHack)|spirit]] [[Enki]] bound, which allows them to benefit from drinking booze: a clockwork hero with Enki bound raises their current [[HP]] by an amount equal to ([[XL]]*10), which will also adjust their maximum HP to match if this would raise their current HP above it, and their [[drunkenness]] is raised if it is below the current cap.
# Other heroes raise their [[sanity]] by at least 5 (with a higher increase if they are below 50 sanity) while their drunkenness is raised if it is below the current cap, and they become confused for 3d8 (more) turns if the potion is not blessed. They also heal an amount of HP equal to their experience level, and a hero with Enki bound also raises their current HP by an amount equal to (XL*10), which will also adjust their maximum HP to match if this would raise their current HP above it.
# If the hero is not a clockwork automaton (''including'' an Android) or an [[Incantifier (starting race)|incantifier]], they further gain 110 nutrition for a cursed potion, 130 for an uncursed one or 150 for a blessed one.
# If this nutrition gain would raise a hero's nutrition past oversatiated levels for their race, they will instead have their nutrition set to that value minus 2d20 and then immediately [[vomit]], abusing [[wisdom]]—though this check is only ignored specifically for clockwork heroes, incantifiers also do not gain nutrition from space mead and so is not subject to this effect.
# If the hero is not a clockwork automaton (''including'' an Android), wisdom is abused–stacking with the previous instance if the hero made themselves vomit–and they will fall unconscious for up to 15 turns if the potion was cursed, along with becoming [[nauseous]] for 20-30 (more) turns.
# Finally, the hero gains 5,000 turns of [[slow digestion]] and will also gain 5,000 turns of [[magical breathing]] if they are not already unbreathing.
