It seems to me that the endless drinking bug is triggered by storing drinks in the fridge.I have this problem with any drink I store in the fridge and my current household lives in Willow Creek. Quick meal drinks are fine, but any crafted or bought drink stored in the fridge loses its spoilage time and can't be finished.I have to manually stop the drinking action and the drink still looks full, but can't be finished. That sounds like what you're experiencing.

@manzana0807 Wonder if the endless meals have the same source and the timer going missing is accountable for all of these@InsaneStar Will test apartments later

@crinrict It's possible. My Sims can finish their meals though despite the missing timer. But drinks are definitely bugged once stored in the fridge for me. I use the Backyard Stuff and Spa Day drink trays a lot, so I noticed something was off right away with them after the patch.

@InsaneStar I tested this, and the Liquid Rush had no progress bar for my sim, but the Power-Sip did.
When on home lot they put the drinks down/washed them in the sink, elsewhere the can disappears, perhaps intentionally. Where were your sim when drinking these drinks, on home lot, or somewhere else?

@DonroaAkashu At the Apartments of San Myshuno. When I did that, the Sim keeps drinking endlessly the energy drinks.

@InsaneStar Did you get the drinks the regular way or through BuyDebug ?

The can washing has a thread here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-Sims-wash-soda-can-in-sink-instead-of-throwing-in/m-p/8496791

Through BuyDebug. I did some testing with the energy drink situation again. It turns out certain lots/apartments got bugged with this. My main lot that I use a lot, Apartment Culpepper House 19, this bug happens on that apartment. The other Culpepper Houses that is not 19, is working fine. Meaning the energy drink consuming and finishing the cans to clean/throw away. I've tested the other apartments like the Jasmine Suite, it works fine.
I brought a video for proof.

@InsaneStar Could you test with regularly bought drinks as well. Buydebug objects often do have other bugs than when you get them through game play

In my testing I had a jungle adventure one in my inventory, that worked fine. The buydebug one I bought for Uni didn't work (although it was more of a not gaining energy than endless drinking).

I didn't test the apartment so there could be two factors to this

- Endless in apartments
- No gain with buyDebug ones.
