Both Drink and Quaff now access the same (smarter) command. You can drink a potion, quaff an ale, or whatever you like. The rules should remain the same for what you can or can't do while defending yourself, gagged, etc.

Helpfiles, the command list, etc. will refer to 'drink' as the usual command for containers, fountains, and potions alike, since it's the more common verb.

I did this one to make sure things shake out correctly, but we may continue doing this sort of thing in the future. The broader goal is to make the command list shorter and more intuitive (*) so a newbie's first few days are less confusing. Having to answer "Why can't I drink a potion?" never comes out well.

(*): Does anyone actually use the verb 'quaff'? Seems like one of those things only MUDders would think to try when confronted with a potion.
