I am able to drink the Brewery's daily special, even though it has a "NOTE: This item is too old to use on your current path" warning. (specifically, water purification pills, today) Mafia doesn't appear to realize this, though--it's not showing up at all in the Item Manager.
(I'm in 2CRS, but am not sure that's relevant)
