Drinking a Potion as a Free Action?

Can you benefit from drinking more than one potion in a turn? Don't potions just activate healing surges? Aren't those limited to once a turn?

Hmm. You're right that they all activate by using a Healing Surge (although they don't cure you your healing surge value, they cure you flat values like 10, 25, and 50 hp), but I can't find any kind of limitation on how often you can drink.

I don't think I've seen any limitation on how often you can use Healing Surges, either? Second Wind is once per encounter and all that, but that's something else. So I couldn't say yet.

I think this is what you're looking for:
