What kind of liquid does health bonus contain?

I don't think blue colored cool-aid or fanta would give you a health bonus. You'd rather lose one health per bottle in that case.

Gonna call your bluff here, one glass of Kool-Aid has more vitamins and minerals than a T-bone steak with a generous helping of roasted veggies, that's obviously why they rejuvenate Doomguy

[joe-ilya]

Vitamins don't exist, they're just an advertisement trick so people would think that their life depends on it and they'll buy it for the rest of their lives.
You can live life with one dish of meat and potatoes the whole time, it'll be bland, but it's doable.

Three pages of this shit? Get a life.

[The_SloVinator]

Probably holy water. Eh, unoriginal, I know.

Great minds think alike. It's actually interesting to see what the community comes up with for answers honestly. I'd be more amazed than annoyed if I were you.

[Nevander]

My guess is Soulsphere essence or something like others have said. Would make sense because the health vials and the Soulsphere itself are both "artifacts" from Hell when Hell invaded Mars correct?

[Batelli_1605]

It's a blue elixir that tastes like blueberry.

[MrGlide]

I thought it was some kind of stim fluid. I actually thought I had read that somewhere.

it's an oddly shaped bottle of pepsi

This is what I assumed, that the Soul Sphere is spiritual energy that replenishes Doom Guy to health and the health bonuses are just tiny fragments of a Soul Sphere extracted somehow into vials. Whether demon or UAC originated is unknown, although they seem to be benevolent souls in contrast to the demonic ones.

Moon on the DS (And later the 3DS in its eShop) actually has similar vials that turn out to be

Spoiler

extracted remains of other humans, meaning the player has been cannibalizing the entire time

I'm assuming you're joking but potatoes actually contain a surprisingly large amount of vitamins if you're also consuming the skin.

[joe-ilya]

^ I was joking, but what I meant to say is that your body needs so little vitamins that it's barely a problem.

[RightField]

Well there's quite the difference between staying alive and staying healthy.

One is a song by the BeeGees for instance.

[MTF Sergeant]

It Might be Cyanide!

[Voros]

^its miracle Doomguy hasn't died from poison.

Ahoy matey!

[Da Eediot]

Liquid health.

[Avoozl]

Probably just holy water I guess.

I remember hearing in an interview--I think with Romero--that a lot of Doom's elements, such as key hunting, was carried over from Commander Keen.

If that's the case, then it must be Lifewater!

[SteelPH]

Blue Ecto Cooler.

[Xyzzу]

My guess is a medicine-like liquid that tastes like mouthwash XD

[driftyloon]

It could be liquid syptic as it is normally a blue color and it is a painkiller. However due to the size of the bottles the amount doomguy is taking would do more harm then good. But then again it is the goddamn doomguy XD. The amount he takes would take away the pain of a bullet wound maybe... He should just find some morphine.

[Quagsire]

Maybe it's some sort of elixir mined and processed into a edible liquid made for healing purposes. Mining that could be the reason behind the demon leaking.

[YukiHerz]

It contains the magic of the wizard's dream.

Or experimental grape coca cola...

[marxr]

Oxycodone in liquid form.

[LittleInferno]

Tetraethyllead, because it stops your knocking. Yes, you don't combust but whatever. Also gasoline so you drink it, not eat it.

Ich brauche Zeit
Kein Heroin kein Alkohol kein Nikotin
Brauch keine Hilfe
Kein Koffein
Doch Dynamit und Terpentin
Ich brauche Öl für Gasolin
Explosiv wie Kerosin
Mit viel Oktan und frei von Blei
Einen Kraftstoff wie Benzin
