Alcohol is one of the staples of the dwarven diet. Dwarves will drink alcohol exclusively when any is available, allowing a fortress to sustain itself without a source of water. When dwarves are forced to drink water, they begin to work slowly from alcohol dependency.

Alcohol is brewed from a still, and requires a brewable plant and a barrel. Every unit of plant produces 5 units of alcohol. Note that a single stack of brewable plant will be brewed at once, and the resulting booze will be placed into a single barrel - a stack of Plump Helmet [5] will produce Dwarven Wine [25], and will only occupy a single barrel. Skilled Growers, who tend to harvest larger stacks, can therefore reduce the number of barrels required to store alcohol, which in turn minimizes the required stockpile size.
