There’s nothing wrong with enjoying an adult beverage while kicking back and playing some video games, and it appears that Bethesda is aware of that, as the company is releasing an official vodka to accompany DOOM Eternal. That wouldn’t be too odd, except this vodka has one pretty interesting ingredient: bones.
