Introduction
------------
This file deals with places etc. where you buy things to eat and drink. It also
deals with the healing properties of foods etc. The word 'pub' is used in a 
broad sense, including bars, restaurants, pubs, coffee-shops etc.

Rules
-----

_The_pub_in_the_village_
The pub in the village is hereby excempt from those rules. It is the one pub
that no other pubs must surpass. The admin feel that the village area needs
this advantage.

_General_points_
* All pubs requires permission.
* A pub might be allowed in an area with 40-50 rooms or more.
* Keep very long distances between the pubs, yours as well as others.
* Things sold in the pub should be consumed there, too.
* Add the property "no_teleport" to the room. Old code checks for a realm
  of "NT", set up that too.
* Sell a limited amount per reset.

_Drinking_and_eating_
All drinks must make the drinker less thirsty, and alcoholic drinks must also
make people (more) drunk. Food eaten must make the eater (more) stuffed. Often
the drink/food will heal the player. This heal must be less than the strength
of the item, and at most equal to 50.

_Non-healing_drinks__
Some pubs etc. sell beverages that have no healing at all, but instead just
makes the drinker intoxicated, thus speeding up his healing rate. Such drink
can have a max strength of 50, and can be sold for half the price they would
have if they healed the same amount.

Guide lines
-----------

_Things_to_use_
Look at the objects in the /std dir: simple_food.c, simple_drink.c, 
smorgasbord.c, complex_drink.c and complex_food.c . Those standard objects are
 there for your and our convenience. Use them as far as possible.

_Creating_your_own_
If you make your own food and drink, be sure to call some functions in the
player object when they are used: drink_alco(), drink_soft() and eat_food(),
all with the strength as an argument.

_More_reading_
Read the rules on healing to get the right prices.
