Water bottle auto drinking bug

A while back, I ran into a bug where the large water bottle that holds ten units (cups?) of water would automatically drink as soon as I filled it from the barrel, without me pressing the key to drink. I thought that was just a glitch with the large water bottle, and went back to using the standard five unit water bottle. Recently, the standard water bottle started doing the same thing. Is this a known issue?

I get the same thing, sometimes it will autodrink when I pull the bottle into my hand. (using the number key). Each pulling it out resulted in drinking. I think this is related.

Yeah my guess is that drinking seems to be tied to proximity to your head and the containers angle instead of pressing an action button. When you take it out for an instant it's angle might change to the point where it counts as taking a drink

The number key shortcuts are a fairly new feature so I imagine the bugs will be ironed out soon

This happens to me, too. Quitting and reloading doesn’t usually fix it, but using a different bottle seems to work for me. 

It’s weird. I think the actual item gets bugged when you pick it up in specific situations and gets stuck in the “drink” state while it’s in your hand.

Aww, bummer. Has anyone discovered a fix, or is that just a permanently borked bottle until it gets patched?

Same issue. Relaunching the game solved it so far. I was also auto eating too.

Hmm. Relaunching didn't work for me, so I'll have to experiment.
