It is of my opinion that the severity of the punishment for not drinking and eating is too severe for the little amounts of fresh, or unopened food, and little amount of drinks. If the loot spawns leaned more toward survival, rather than dress-up, it would make sense to have such a harsh penalty for starvation, and dehydration. The individual houses on the coast and in between cities, here and there would be a perfect place to gear towards food and drink, I have played for about 5 hours now, and have had to respawn 3 times for lack of fresh food and drinks on the map. Thanks for your time!
