I used to think they did this because that's what they did in stalker. Would chug a drink right as I entered the zone and start sprinting but when I actually tested it I realised I was wrong. I think they're fine as is. Food and those non-combat supplies are better left hoarded in safehouses than carried. They're really heavy and you'll never need them in a pinch. Carrying a box of cigarettes just in case you're running back close to tide is about all you need.
