Wrote up as much information as I could think of on thirst. I'll try to see if wildlife drinks, if visiting creatures drink, and how long it takes a dwarf to die without water - maybe waiting until someone takes a drink, noting the date, then locking them in a room with food until they die. If someone beats me to it, please update the page accordingly - I'm not sure when I'll get around to running the experiments. --CrazyEyes 20:05, 7 August 2008 (EDT)

Heavily wounded dwarves will try to drink booze if they have no unassigned bed to be put in. I had a dwarf crawl to the booze stockpile, with a red leg or two plus a damaged spine, when I deconstructed the only "hospital" bed. I assume an armless dwarf would be unable to booze up at all though.--Rolan7 20:02, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

I have set up several wells and have several stockpiles of drinks scattered around the fortress, yet all of my dwarfs still complain of thirst. Is there something more I can do? --Keesto 05:37, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Do you *have* alcohol? You need to actually Brew the alcohol. And, the wells might be dried up. Shardok 07:52, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
