Bottle of Laudanum is a drink commodity produced from a Chemist's Shop. It is produced by processing a Bucket of Opium and a Bottle of Whisky. A reddish-brown bottle containing Laudanum, an alcoholic extract of opium. When drunk by colonists, helps to stave off madness in a manner similar to beer, whisky, and moonshine.

Laudanum /ˈlɔːdᵊnəm/ is a tincture of opium containing approximately 10% powdered opium by weight (the equivalent of 1% morphine).

Reddish-brown and extremely bitter, laudanum contains almost all of the opium alkaloids, including morphine and codeine, and its high morphine concentration makes it a potent narcotic. Laudanum was historically used to treat a variety of ailments, but its principal use was as an analgesic and cough suppressant.
